Code Tour: Feb 06, 2011 - Feb 17, 2011

[dreamatdrew]

Hola, and welcome to the Dreamwidth code tour! We have 17 bugs marked resolved since 2011-02-06, including a first-time contrib from mmmpork. (Seems like just a couple tours ago she was leading us. Oh how quickly we move on.) At any rate, saddle up, lets get movin...

( The Code, it compels us... )

That's it for this round. Everything in this list aside from Bug 3445 should be live now.

March: Suggestions Hackathon

[denise]

The two-year anniversary of open beta launch is coming up at the end of April, and therefore it is time to start thinking about how we will celebrate!

One of the things I want to do is see how many "gifts to our users" we can provide before then, and what better way to do that than to take a look at some of the suggestions they've made. Right now we have 300 unassigned suggestions (thanks in part to a suggestions run this week!) and 332 open suggestions total, and I'd love to knock those numbers down to the 225-250 range.

So, it is time for the March Suggestions Hackathon. Grab an unassigned suggestion! Hack away!

In fact, from now until March 31, I will be putting a bounty on all suggestions bugs. :) For every patch submitted to a bug tagged 'from-suggestions' that is also tagged effort-minor, I'll give you 10 points; for effort-medium, 50 points, and for effort-major, 100 points. First draft of patches must be submitted from now to 31 March but may be revised/reviewed/committed aftewards.

(And, in celebration, I'm claiming a few myself. Despite not having coded anything in like five months. COVER ME, I'M GOING IN.)
