The reason I ask about stuff like this is to cut down the sheer number of
links that need to go on the high-level pages. Besides that just being
general good practice, it took quite a bit of shuffling to get
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Development_information and the pages
below it to be organized usefully. That page keeps getting trivial
content added to it, and it's already time for another round of trimming
that out so it's just the important stuff there at that top level of the
developer section.

Fine; that clearly deserves its own page then and I'll hang myself on the
first hook there to get the ball rolling. Only reason I double-checked is
that I didn't want to see another created then ignored because it's not
relevant anymore page like the Wishlist. If you're sure that's still the
right way to organize this, you got it. I'll select some pages to evict
from their too prominant place to make space for it.

P.S. on this general topic: the growth in use of the CommitFest pages has
been interesting:

CommitFest 2008-03 (1,829 views)
CommitFest 2008-05 (4,103 views)
CommitFest 2008-07 (5,715 views)
CommitFest 2008-09 (6,048 views)

The 2008-11 one is already up to 1,276 views.
