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!
- Are you actively working on a bug (or several) right now? Which ones?
- What are you interested in working on -- broadly or narrowly, what do you want to do? (Or are you just open for suggestions?)
- 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.)
- 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]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
fu and 4PM UTC on a Sunday. Reasonable?
Thanks!

we're kind of low on "bitesized" bugs at the moment, but i've gone on a quick skim and here are some bugs that might work for you:
http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2871
http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4739
http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4658 (if you're on a mac)
http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4304
http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4583
http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4328
there's also starting out with patching layout themes, which is a good way to get started on something that's very well-documented and getting used to the process of making changes, working with git, generating pull requests, etc. for that, look in bugzilla for "new themes" bugs.
for getting started with perl, there are free online resources, but the o'reilly book "learning perl" is probably one of the better ones. if you keep an eye out, o'reilly will run occasional discounts, and you can get it in ebook or print form.
