No link

From
Martín Marqués
Date:
I just read from the weekly news that PostgreSQL won Linux New Media Award for
Best Database System:

http://www.postgresql.org/news/236.html

The problem is that the news contains a URL which doesn't have the apropriate
link anchour, so I had to copy and paste the link into the browser to see the
page. Kind of annoying.

Just in case nobody noticed it.

Ummm, all links are the same, except if they are submitted in HTML form.

What about modifying the code so that it display the URLS as hyperlinks
even if they are submitted as plain text?

Well, the URL pointed to doesn't seem to contain the promised
information anyway.  There is an account in German at
<http://www.pro-linux.de/news/2004/7441.html> and a picture of the
trophy at
<http://www.inf.tu-dresden.de/~nk671652/_lit/slides/20041030-171608-083.html>
(taken at a different event that I went to after LWE).  The current
issue of Linux Magazin (Germany) also contains details.  "PostgreSQL 8"
beat "MySQL 5.0" by 48% to 30% or so.

Neat, and we haven't even released it yet :)

Yeah, but on the other hand, given MySQL's record, v5 probably won't be out for a year or three yet either. Still, that
givesus plenty of time to widen the feature gap even further...

Actually, no they don't.

I just generally go through and turn non-links into links every couple
of days for the more interesting news items to they're easier to people
to use.

Auto-adding them would be nifty.

Oh, so you update them but leave them for me or Devrim to approve? <big>
:-) </big>

'Cos I've certainly approved a number in the past with pre-HTMLified
links.

Still, it won't hurt for it to be automated anyway, as long as it
doesn't mess up ones that are already done.
