New Year's Resolutions

Mark and I were talking tonight about "ninja releasing" little things that are heavily-asked-for features or bugfixes/UI improvements, and I thought it might be cool to do a "New Year's Resolutions" type thing in the next news post: show the link to the effort-minor Bugzilla search and let people name the one thing they most want to see, then browse the list and try to implement as many of them as we can during January.

Would anybody be interested in coding for that type of hackathon?

I am still v. inexperienced and all and still struggling to even find time to work on like, the one bug I have assigned myself, but! Well, I'd be interested in this if even just so I can try to promote the bug that is my most-wished-for bugfix, since it is something I am not capable of fixing myself at my current experience level. :3

I'm tempted to say yes to this... Quite like to get involved a little (though my time is a bit limited), to sharpen up my perl.

Depends on the scale / complexity of what's available.

Oh, and I've only been here a day and not had a look how scary and spaghetti like the code-base is yet. :)

So I just submitted a patch to add a header image option for Sunday Morning and saw this bug:

Styles: create banner image option

I am pretty sure that it is a very wanted option for a lot of people for styles and within my capabilities to do in a fairly short period of time (lots of nice tedious repetitive adding it into the different styles, which is soothing right now), so I pledge to do that and my siteviews--though it will probably be finished before January, I hope.

I would providing there's something I can do but, first, I'll do my best to finish the styling of /icons so that it can go live.

January might be bad for that, as I really *do* plan to finish my open bugs in January/February, but I am generally interested.
