This is great! I only have one small request. The font is really small
and I have pretty good eyesight.

How does it compare to the font size of the previous version of the TODO
list?

Hi,

Thanks to Brendan Jurd, who spent a lot of effort in creating useful
Mediawiki templates, we now have moved the TODO list to the Wiki site.

The new official location for the TODO list is here:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo:Todo

I hereby kindly request the WWW team to update any references to point
to the new address; perhaps install a redirection in
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.TODO.html to the new location.

The move has been approved by Bruce, the current maintainer. I hope
that he continues to maintain the new version.

While many details have been sorted out during the move, being a wiki
there is nothing set in stone. Feel free to do changes like improve the
markup or the templates so that things look better (after appropriate
discussion), but if you intend to make changes like mark items
completed, add new items, or remove items, please email pgsql-hackers as
has been Bruce's tradition.

The wiki has a similar appearance compared to the old TODO html file,
and allows easy editing, either per TODO section or the entire file;
the markup is also simple. This should allow other people to maintain
the TODO list, as they have done with the commit fest list.

I believe TODO and TODO.html files should now be removed from CVS.

Yay!

Thanks to Brendan for helping out with that!

Done on both accounts.

The move has been approved by Bruce, the current maintainer. I hope
that he continues to maintain the new version.

And let's keep the version in CVS around for a couple of days to let
things settle before we do a "cvs remove" on it..

+1. Leaving them in CVS would just result in confusion.

It might make sense to leave TODO still in the file set, but reduce its
content to a pointer to the wiki page.

Why? "cvs remove" is reversible, if it comes to that.

Good pt. I was mixing it up with the sucky way cvs deals with directory
removals. My bad, suggestion withdrawn.

What is it with this strange page naming? Have we not established some time
ago that the colon is only supposed to be used for metapages? We kind of
blew this on the commit fest pages, but at least new content should do it
right. Plus, a URL such as http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo would be a
lot more obvious to find.

I agree with your argument. I think we inherited this name from a very
old attempt to do the conversion, and just didn't worry about it very
much, being too stressed about pleasing Bruce with the new format ;-)

The TODO link on the developer page needs to be updated too:

Done too (and a few other links to the TODO list that are on the
website).

Minor nit: the summer of code page says that the easy items are marked
with a %, but that's no longer true.

The current idea Brendan has is to use a green circle for easy and a
check mark for done.
