Yes! As I mentioned in my initial email, they simply need to be updated and we need to make sure that we have mentors for them.
If you're willing to mentor for one or multiple, please review the description, remove the previous mentors and put yourself and then update the '2017' to be '2018' and we'll include it. Also, feel free to contact the other former mentors if you believe the'll be interested in mentoring again this year.
What I don't want to do is assume that people who volunteered to mentor last year are willing to do so again this year.
Great! I've pull following projects for 2018:
* GiST API advancement
* TOAST'ing in slices
* Table density estimation for approximate queries
* Extract scanning strategy to the separate entity from GiST/GIN/SP-GiST opclasses
Oleg Bartunov, Teodor Sigaev, Andrey Borodin and I confirmed volunteering to mentor these projects this year. The only thing to clarify: are you volunteering to mentor TOAST'ing in slices this year? If no, please correct the wiki accordingly.
