A little organization and updates!

[mark]

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 fu and 4PM UTC on a Sunday. Reasonable?

Thanks!

Re workers: Have you looked at http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/wiki/index.php/Dreamhack_getting_started#A_note_about_TheSchwartz ? (I'm not sure whether you're referring to using the existing workers or writing a new one. If the latter, see http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/wiki/index.php/TheSchwartz instead.)

If you have and they don't answer your question, or if there's room for improvement, you can either ask in the latest questions thread, file a Docs/Wiki bug or both.

I have and I meant using existing ones. I've also read http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/wiki/index.php/Workers but none of that told me how to make emails or PMs or search or latest things or the shop work. I know people have asked about them in the past - I think zvi did - and nobody was able to explain it to them either.

Hmm. This sounds to me like it requires troubleshooting more than instructions. (The instructions may be incomplete or wrong in a way that's contributing to your problem, but it's hard to know for sure whether and how without figuring out why it doesn't work.)

I think the only one which seemed to work for me was expunge-users. I've always thought I was supposed to add parameters that I didn't know about.
