Some bugs for the bounty hunt

[afuna]

I've picked out some bugs that look manageable, especially for beginner coders. Roughly ordered by category and difficulty.

If you need help getting started, see our Dev Getting Started, follow the links, and join us on IRC!

Suitable for beginners (most of these involve finding the right function to call, applying simple logic, or have similar logic near them that can be applied to adding new components):

Slightly more complicated with the logic, or adding new elements, but should be low-effort:

English-stripping:

Non-perl:
These are the things that don't involve knowing Perl to find/fix the bug

Code merge:
For code-merge bugs, you need to merge in the changes from the changelog entry, taking care to make sure that the logic is sound, and that it is compatible with the changes we have also made to our code (so sometimes it is practically copy-paste, sometimes it requires a bit more analysis).

S2:
unassigned, open styles-related bugs

Note: I am updating the bug list, adding new suitable bugs as they are assigned, and crossing out claimed items. There are more
unassigned bugs in zilla, though. If you don't find that any of the ones in this entry catch your attention, check out that list; you may find something more to your liking.

ETA: April 8, 2009
Now that the initial bug bounty is over, I am no longer updating the list above. However, there is a list of unassigned bugs flagged effort-minor on Bugzilla. Most of these should be suitable for beginners.

(If you're interested in a bug, but not sure how to do it, ask! Promise we don't bite (unless you ask us to))

Wiki article on code review

[foxfirefey]

Soooo tonight denise mentioned that mark makes a sad face every time he comes home all ready and rarin' to code only to find a gazillion patches to review. In order to try and spread this burden around, I've attempted to write a guide on the Code Review process so that more people can help with this important chore. I'm posting it for review and discussion, to make sure the instructions in it are sound.
