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!

I want to modernize the customize area so bad

with drag and drop modules and shit and changing all color properties that are X color to Y color at once and MAKING IT LESS TEDIOUS it would be fantastic

Hmm, well, I don't know how much of the mobile site will directly translate, but I think with jQuery behind me, it's possible. I halfway did a cardsorting app in Django and jQuery once that had drag and drop, and I've done some simple "order by drag and drop" stuff for work in web interfaces, so I feel it is doable!

ooooh

I'm going to focus on what I'm currently signed up for but I will keep it in mind. I will feel better about having stuff on my plate when I finish up my customized-advanced to TT and editing other styles than the current one bugs, have dreamhacks working with GitHub whether I'm the main instrument or just an assistant, and making some actual real progress on the mobile site. Then I think I'll convert the customize area to TT (which should be easier than the advanced area, actually, less code since most of it is in widgets) and THEN I can do the drag and drop for it without feeling dirty doing so much in BML.
