Does that mean I have to volunteer myself? ;-) I kind of regret learning to develop on Windows, because I find it a horrid environment*, but so does everybody else, most of whom have been clever enough not to learn it. They can say "I don't know Windows" and they're safe. Any chance of flagging patches on the commitfest when they're platform specific? I'm hurting for time but will check out Windows-specific stuff if it's an area the project particularly needs help with. * Except for Visual C++'s debugger, which is a godsend, and so good it's almost worth learning to code on Windows to use. I will never use gdb for c++ again given the choice. gdb is a C debugger with bizarre delusions that it's also a C++ debugger. Most of my C++ code is cross-platform primarily so I can code on Linux, interactively debug on Windows, and use Linux for valgrind memory debugging. -- Craig Ringer -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
