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!

My guess, though I've not tracked it down, is that there is an existence check on the keyword somewhere and perl evaluates it to 0/false because of the leading 0 in the string.
IIRC, last time I looked at the export bugs there were a couple, including general improvement of the existing export tool, and a specific request to export as pdf. My thought was to find my way around the API (*sigh* document where necessary), and that ideally dreamwidth probably only wants to support exporting to a single format (XML) - at least for basic accounts. But if the XML were well enough documented then third parties (or dreamwidth could provide the source code but not host the application) could easily write conversion tools to act on the XML. I'll need to get the hang of the queuing system as well - so lots of learning involved.
