The return of the fix-it marathon

[yvi]

So, at the end of June, denise called for a fix-it marathon.

http://dw-dev.dreamwidth.org/11183.html

Let's have another one.

But let's make it two-fold:

First layer: blocking-launch

http://tinyurl.com/cjw9wk currently has 48 bugs: 21 assigned and 27 new. Let's try to bring that number down. A lot of these look scary, and some of them are not effort-minor, so I'm thinking of a bit of a low goal: by August 15, have the number of unassigned ones in there down to 15, which means 12 newly assigned. And by that time, have only 30 of the bugs left, which means 18 bugs fixed in 13 days.

(Edit: That's 'blocking-launch+', not 'blocking-launch??' or 'Target Milestone: Launch'. I am not sure which of these are the best indicators...)

I have two blocking-launch bugs assigned to me now. Who's with me?

Second layer: babydev

You're new to this whole thing? blocking-launch bugs are way over your head (and if you think that I am pretty much with you :)) by this point? But you're interested in tackling something, you just don't know what?

If you don't already have one, get yourself a Dreamhack.

The effort-minor keyword currently has 180 open, unassigned bugs. There are still a few left on my recent babydev bait post. If you want to do something and can't find anything in that list or don't know how to start, comment here or join #dw_kindergarten and I am sure there are people there including me who can help you find a bug to tackle and then tackling it.

And remember, this is just a suggestion. No-one is under any obligation to do any of this. I just thought it would be nice to get some of these bugs out of the way. :)

So, if we added a color_footer_background, which I think is a good idea, what default would that be?

And what would you want those link colors change to?

[ninetydegrees]

$*color_footer_background already exists. It's the orange color.

I don't know if the link colors should be changed because I don't know how much contrast is needed. The current colors which are used are yellow for text and white for links. The yellow color is the same which is used for the links of the navigation menu. Nobody remarked on this being hard to read so... The only possible issue I can think of is that the footer uses the reversed scheme: yellow for text, white for links as I said. Having yellow for links in the top menu and for text in the footer menu may be confusing. Or not.
