Tomorrow November 15, patch submission will close for the 2011-11
CommitFest after 11:59PM PST. New patches ready for review should be
submitted to this mailing list and added to the CommitFest application
at https://commitfest.postgresql.org/ See
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Development_information for guidelines
on patch development, submission, review, and how the CommitFest work
happens.
Even before the last minute rush there are already 25 submissions that
are looking for reviewers. If you can apply a patch and you can use the
new feature, you're qualified to start reviewing it. And we've produced
some guides to the patch part--see
http://www.pgcon.org/2011/schedule/events/368.en.html as one example.
If you're interested in helping with review, but are looking for
suggestions on what patch to select, you should join the Round Robin
Reviewers list to get assigned one. More information about that at
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/RRReviewers
This is the 3rd of the 4 CommitFests for PostgreSQL 9.2. The hope is
that any major features aimed at 9.2 will have been submitted for
initial review by this one, so there's still time to get feedback and
re-submit before the final CommitFest for 9.2, 2012-01.
There are also 4 uncontroversial submissions in this CommitFest that are
marked "Ready for Committer":
-Non-inheritable check constraints
-plperl verify utf8 strings
-Perl xsubpp from cpan
-Add Support for building with Visual Studio 2010
Committers who would like to get an early start have some options already.
