One issue might be exposure to interested parties in our community. For
example, I've heard of the work on materialized views, but not the other
ones. Perhaps all three of these links should be added to the TODO list so
people interested in such features have a good base to start from.

The other issue would be how to encourage professors/students to donate actual
code/patches back to the project, though that conversation should probably be
taken to -advocacy.
