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!

It's a trick I had to learn very early for my job so

I think it's set up. I have all the data in config-private and the lines are uncommented. I've used $LJHOME/bin/worker-manager --debug and edited workers.conf and I can see it runs some stuff but I still can't get some emails (I've also used /admin/eventoutput whenever I could but it's hard to figure it out sometimes) or PMs or latest things. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Awww. How wonderful! I think it's hard to remember how intense things feel when you're so young and how intensely even if briefly you react in return because that's all you know. Is he going to kindergarten yet? (sorry if that's an odd question; I don't know how it works in your country :)

XD I imagined you flying the plane then jumping out of the plane then running to your job while taking your gear off. Go go go! Sorry for my silly ramblings. Seriously, though, we definitely need an official Captain Mark icon.
