Thread: [FINALLY] the TODO list has migrated to Wiki
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. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

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. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

+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.

Alvaro Herrera wrote: > The new official location for the TODO list is here: > http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo:Todo 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 ;-) -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.

Bruce Momjian wrote: > The TODO link on the developer page needs to be updated too: > > http://www.postgresql.org/developer/ Done too (and a few other links to the TODO list that are on the website).

That doesn't make it easily searchable. Maybe I'm the only one, but every now and then I take a look at it, and there's no fast way of seeing what items have been done (and marked as easier). > > -- > Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us > EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com > > + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. + -- Albert Cervera i Areny http://www.NaN-tic.com

That is true, but text like "E" merges into the adjacent words.

Perhaps [Easy] and [Done] would look a little more different? Not sure.

The only downside is that reading down the list now has the easy/done items shifted to the left, but that seems unavoidable. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + If your life is a hard drive, Christ can be your backup. +

The markers now include icons, which gives us visual distinctiveness, and I've abbreviated the labels to "[D]" and "[E]", which makes it very easy to search. I agreed with Bruce that it was a shame the markers bumped the actual item text over to the right. It looked uneven. So I applied a bit of CSS-fu and got the markers to appear to the left of the items. They now appear in a similar fashion to the bullets in an unordered list. Cheers, BJ
Hi, While we're on this topic, I think we need put a link at [1] heading directly to (Official) Todo [2]. What we have ATM is "Unofficial Todo Detail" that is rather inconsistent. We should rename it to "Todo Detail". Comments?
