- What open source development process is used by the PostgreSQL team?

+ What development environment (OS, system, compilers, etc) is required
+ to develop code?
- What development environment (OS, system, compilers, etc) is required to
- develop code?

+ What areas need support?
- What area or two needs some support?
-
The TODO list.
