here are a few ideas to be going on with (none of these are new):

buildfarm:

1. Buildfarm web app: is in urgent need of renovation.  (perl + postgres
+ template toolkit. might be nice to rework it as a Catalyst app).
2. Buildfarm client: support downloading patches from an approved
server, doing apply, build, install, and test. (perl + maybe SOAP)
3. Buildfarm client + web app: support running performance tests and
reporting on them (start with pgbench) (s/w as above)



postgres core:

4. allow use of LIKE syntax in all type expressions e.g. select * from
mysrf() as (label text, like foo); create type xx as (label text, like bar);


cheers
