You motivated me to post about what I meant ...Hey!<br /><br />You motivated me <a href="http://www.chesnok.com/daily/2011/03/30/where-meritocracy-fails/" rel="nofollow">to post about what I meant last week about meritocracy</a>. <br /><br />I agree with you about improvements that have been made, and I hope I made that clear in what I wrote.<br /><br />As far as the things about the patch review process to improve -- I think so much has been done to make this better. The numbers about patches that run through the Commitfest process don't lie. :)<br /><br />We're just at a point where we need to reach out more than we ever have, and talk more about the things that our community is producing "out in public", rather than just on our mailing lists. <br /><br />Another huge thing is formalizing our extensions interfaces, and making pgfoundry not suck. A healthy ecosystem of add-on projects that *looks* healthy to outsiders, would also do wonders.<br /><br />I'll think on it more, and post up my thoughts in another post. <br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to write about this.<br /><br />-selenaSelena Deckelmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13333357633279345574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20038672.post-75550002210406242842011-03-30T21:57:06.984-04:002011-03-30T21:57:06.984-04:00One could say that getting a patch committed to pr...One could say that getting a patch committed to project as complex and critical as a database _should_ be difficult. It is possible that an uphill battle in getting code submitted makes for a higher quality end product.Matt Keranenhttp://@HybridDBAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20038672.post-62767925317628916232011-03-30T18:12:59.491-04:002011-03-30T18:12:59.491-04:00I blogged about this from a slightly different pe...I <a href="http://people.planetpostgresql.org/andrew/index.php?/archives/52-Put-your-ego-in-your-pocket.html" rel="nofollow"> blogged about this</a> from a slightly different perspective a while back.<br /><br />I agree with most of what you wrote.<br /><br />We set the bar fairly high. That has a major benefit, as you noted, in code quality. It can also cost us some if developers become discouraged. We need to try to maximise the one and minimise the other.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12217888803221590278noreply@blogger.com
