Re: commitfest.postgresql.org

Hi folks,

We're now about a week away from the start of the July 2009
commitfest, and we need to make a decision about whether to start
using http://commitfest.postgresql.org to manage it, or punt to the
next commitfest and continue to use the wiki for July.

Robert and I have been upgrading the app in response to the feedback
so far, and personally I think the app is already a far superior tool
to the wiki for managing a commitfest. I think we should use it for
2009-07.

What we need in order to proceed is:
a) a viable consensus from patch reviewers/committers to switch over,
b) an email out to -hackers about the new app,
c) updates to the wiki developer pages pointing to the new app, and
d) decommissioning the wiki July CF.

I can do b), c) and d) but I could use your help in obtaining a).

If you think we should switch over, please say so.

If you think the app needs some tweaking, please say so but let's
switch over anyway and make those tweaks as we go.

If you think the app is fundamentally less useful than the wiki,
please say so and we'll work out whether we can resolve your objection
in time for the start of the CF.

Thanks in advance for your comments.

Cheers,
BJ
