A little organization and updates!

Hi all!

I've been doing some poking around and realized that I don't have a good overall state-of-the-DW-development. I have some vague ideas about what some people are working on and interested in, but I wanted to make those vague ideas become a bit less vague. :)

If you have a few minutes, I'd appreciate you taking the time to answer a couple of quick questions here!

  1. Are you actively working on a bug (or several) right now? Which ones?
  2. What are you interested in working on -- broadly or narrowly, what do you want to do? (Or are you just open for suggestions?)
  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.)
  4. Free form! Anything you want to say or ask. :)

I also want us to have another development focused chat like we did some months ago. I think the last one I did was well timed for US developers but bad for EU, so I'll go the other way this time. I'm thinking something like 8AM Pacific which is midnight for [personal profile] fu and 4PM UTC on a Sunday. Reasonable?

Thanks!

Oh, right.

1. Have picked up bug 210 again. I hadn't touched it in several months, so between the github move and general code skew, I'm just getting it back to the point it had been. Hoping to make more progress soon.

2. I think I might go for a more medium-sized task next time. :)

3. Time. Size of project.

4. Sunday at 11 AM Eastern is tricky for me. 9 or 1 would work.

Hah, yes; you do seem to enjoy taking the large things and making them Happen. That's fantastic, though, and I'm really glad to have folks like you around who can take on a big project and get it done. :)

Would Saturdays be better? I don't want to conflict with family day/church/etc and my reason for avoiding Saturdays (I have plans) is just a conflict every other Saturday so I can schedule around them.

If we're doing 11 AM Eastern then Saturdays would be the best for me, yes. Which isn't to say that I would be able to make a given Saturday at that time, just that I do have a conflict then every other day of the week. :)

for bug 210 -- would it help you (either motivation-wise or practicality-in-solving-implementation-problems wise) to schedule time for an interactive demonstration in irc or something? because i am SO DAMN EXCITED for the feature, omg, and i think a lot of other people are as well, and i would be thrilled to take an hour, listen to you show off bits and pieces of it, and gush over all the bits that make me SO DAMN EXCITED. and if there are, f'rex, particular frontendy bits you're flailing about or tiny implementation questions or whatever, it might be helpful to talk it out and get opinions and thoughts!

just SAY THE WORD and i will make it happen, seriously, i am SO DAMN EXCITED about this project. :)
