[ Thread moved to hackers.]

What is "Prioritised" Todo?  It looks like a copy of the TODO list that
was created on March 23, 2010, and only you and Simon have modified it:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/index.php?title=Prioritised_Todo&action=history

Of course it is not getting updates that are added to the main TODO
list.  What can this cause except confusion! I am hoping to hear a
reasonable explanation why this was done, and why changes are going
there instead of the main TODO list, which is here:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo

Well, the updates I made to that one were strictly an accident; I didn't 
notice I was editing the forked version.  I have put everything I did in 
that session back onto the right one.  The "Prioritised Todo" wasn't 
linked to anywhere that you'd find it except via a bit of bad late night 
searching like I did. 

I'm not sure what Simon was tinkering with there, but having fallen 
victim to it myself I agree having it there with that name is not a 
great choice.  I moved that bit of work in progress he was doing to 
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/User:Simon and deleted the one with the 
confusing name.  Sorry about propagating my own confusion to others.

Well, unless Simon wants to keep it for some reason, it should be
removed, and if kept, renamed.  Simon?

I already retitled the copy left on the personal page and deleted the 
one that was causing the confusion.  I doubt anyone will accidentally 
consider official a page labeled "Simon's Work in Progress: Prioritised 
Todo" that's attached to User:Simon, that nothing links to, and that 
doesn't show up on the first set of results if you search for "todo" either.

Happy for it to be deleted.
