[postgis-devel] Tickets

[Chris Hodgson]

Paul I nearly suggested a "future" milestone when you originally 
complained about this problem, but then I thought that it was the fact 
that the tickets were "open" that bothered you. I think that a 'FUTURE' 
milestone is a good idea, and perhaps should be the default for feature 
requests/improvements.

I think other projects (I know mapserver does) propose the list of 
things to include in the next release, rather than using trac 
exclusively to plan the roadmap. But really, if you have a "future" 
milestone, I can't see why trac can't be used to define the roadmap.
