These may be more -hackers questions, but I am duly following protocol by trying elsewhere first. 1. Does the PostgreSQL development team require the assignment of copyright in order to accept contributions? If so, is there a standard form that is normally used for this purpose? Or, alternatively, do I need to provide something that says that my employer does not assert copyright over code that I submit? (i.e. it's mine, not theirs) 2. My understanding is that we are currently in feature freeze for 8.3. I think this means that it's a bad time to discuss features for 8.4, or to provide patches implementing such features. Assuming that's the case, when would the appropriate time be? Thanks, ...Robert
