I have added two new files to the /doc directory called KNOWN_BUGS and
MISSING_FEATURES. The files say:

PostgreSQL has a single combined bugs, missing features, and todo list
simply called TODO, in this directory. A current copy is always
available on our web site.

Part of the problem is that our TODO list really fills all three
functions, and I can understand why some people are not looking in the
TODO files for know bugs or missing feature.

I have no problem if someone wants to set up a more formal bug tracking
system. Setting up the system is not hard. It is keeping it
maintained. Right now, I have a TODO file, and I modifiy it with a text
editor, and run a script that ftp's it to our web site.

I am willing to put that file in a common location so other people can
make changes to the file. I could check it into the cvs tree every time
as doc/TODO, so anyone with CVS access can make modifications to it.

That may be a very easy way to go.

Right now, I only check it into CVS right before a release, but I can
cvs commit every time a change is made.

Comments?
