8.3 Open Items

From

I have updated the patches queue to show all open items:
http://momjian.us/cgi-bin/pgpatches

I am looking for guidance on applying patches or keeping items for 8.4.
I will keep this URL updated from now until we release 8.3.

re fix for MSVC builds when Cygwin is in the environment, it's on my 
TODO list, and I hope to get to it shortly. It's not that critical since 
the user can always take Cygwin out of their build environment if they 
have to.

re replacements for MSVC build scripts, I am waiting for Magnus to comment

re encoding fixes, I am waiting for feedback re chr()/ascii() fixes, 
and  will start work shortly on convert() changes.

Just a note: I don't find the mail archive approach to these lists 
optimal. A list on a wiki page with links from individual discussions, 
rather like the one Stefan did earlier at 
http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/Todo:PatchStatus , makes 
things a lot clearer, IMNSHO.  In particular, it's nice to be able to 
see at a glance who is on the hook for what.

cheers

I've found it a bit frustrating to try and contribute to the wiki given 
the account process involved. Wondering if a "sandbox" or similar could 
be created where even the untrusted masses could edit items. Or perhaps 
a separate users.postgresql.org wiki with a user focus.
