#1. Are you actively working on a bug (or several) right now? Which ones?
Okay here are my main things right now:
* Converting BML to TT. I'm getting better at it as I go. My current branch is converting the advanced customization area to TT, and it's almost done. I have also been converting pieces of the admin area to TT. To help others who will need to make TT pages, I have started a instructional cookbook.
* Making a jquery mobile version of the site. Have been blocked by all of the comment loading logic residing in S2 and not wanting to duplicate it, but have gotten good advice from mark (YOOOOU) on abstracting that logic out into DW::Logic. I'm going to work on that part next.
* Trying to get the dreamhack system back up and running with our new git setup. This is a subject where I am very over my head but Sophie has a great set up, so hopefully I can just work from there and get it to a place where we can make new dreamhacks for people. chebe's not working when she was ready and rarin' to go was a big wake up call for me. So far, a new dreamhack repository has been set up, I have a pull request for what I think are the source control files (aka not the checkout of DW code or automatically generated coverage/doc/test output.) I've made an issue to create a development branch on the main dreamwidth repo for it, since that's seemed to work out really great for dw-free; then I can do my development on a git branch. I've checked out a server to work with on DigitalOcean and I'm trying to set up a system there so I can test out the system--I'll note that this seems like a good opportunity to upgrade the OS of the dreamhack server, so I'm using 12.04 as a base. Once I have something that works, we'll need to figure out upgrading the dreamhack system to it.
#2. What are you interested in working on -- broadly or narrowly, what do you want to do? (Or are you just open for suggestions?)
I have broad ranging interests, the abilities to learn what I need to know for them, and my main barrier is time and focus energy.
I want to get rid of BML, I want to have a mobile version of the site. I also have some fantasies in my head for something I call "cloaking" based on this bug where both entries and comments to a community could be made anonymously, with the backend keeping track. That way, admins could run anonymous communities while still maintaining some degree of of commenting accountability--if membership is moderated, entries/comments are members only, and they can ban an anoymous commentor from commenting without knowing who it is they have banned, then I think there could be a space where anonymous communities could run with more accountability. So, there would be cloaked posts and cloaked comments.
#3. Is there anything explicitly blocking you from doing what you want? (Knowledge, someone has the bug claimed for a year, need a hand with something, etc.)
I will most definitely need help with dreamhack stuff, and people can expect liberal dw_dev posts from me as I try to get it working. I might end up needing review/advice when I work on moving comment display logic from S2 to a DW::Logic place; I know efficiency is extremely important for this code and don't want to end up putting us in a bad position.
#4. Free form! Anything you want to say or ask. :)
HI MARK HI i can totally do some Sunday meeting if I know about it in advance enough to make plans EVEN IF IT IS AT 8AM
