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!

As one of the Styles People, I'm going to heartily second theme-patching. We have a little scripty thing to help with it, which I need to update, and which was actually my intro to Perl coding *g* ([personal profile] rb wrote the base, and then I added to it, and then Fu helped me iron out bugs, but it's not perfect yet). We have a lot of new themes that need patching, and not a lot of people to do it, because... well, okay, it's a little boring, and I think the only people other than me who know how to do it are either doing bigger bugs, or busy with life.
