Supporting local chapters sounds grand – what concrete actions can support this?

For those on postgresql 8.4, your paths have changed!

The GIS sql files to set up your database are now located in the postgres84 share directory, and there has been one name change from lwpostgis.sql to postgis.sql. So, for the example above use:

psql -f /opt/local/share/postgresql84/contrib/postgis.sql -d australia
psql -f /opt/local/share/postgresql84/contrib/spatial_ref_sys.sql -d australia

Many thanks to Mark!

I use both approached, but for different purposes. As you suggest, project-specific teams really want to work down the backlog of things that are truly needed for that project. Putting things on such a backlog that won’t get done (or are for other projects) simply creates a sorting/filing problem later.
As an agile product manager (often a/k/a product owner), I know that my product will live on for a long time. Years and years if it’s well-received! I want a place where good ideas can live for a while, even outside the scope of what the team can build in this sprint or this release. Many agilists would refer to this as the product backlog, rather than the release backlog or sprint backlog. It includes variously underdefined things that may get more definition later.
Great to call this an IdeaLog as long as it doesn’t generate yet another disconnected list of things that need to be found and re-integrated later.
