Folks,

OK, there's been a *lot* of changes on what's in and what's out for the
PostgreSQL release since my first draft. Can I have some help with this?

We're looking for things actually in 8.2, according to Bruce's release notes,
which will make sense to the press and moderately technical non-DBA readers.

We'll want to pick out 3-5 things for the main release, and another 3-5 things
for the extended release. The extended release items can be things which
matter only to existing users (like pg_dump improvements) but the main
release items need to be things which are "buzzword compliant" or otherwise
newsworthy.

One big thing is overall performance, which is up 20% overall on OLTP workload
tests at Sun. (SpecJ and TPC)
