Code Tour: 25 August to 5 September, 2011

[metawidget]

Good afternoon, Dreamwidth! I'll be driving denise’s car your code tour past things fixed in the past week and a half (helpfully identified by the code tour script). We will be going by old bugs, new bugs and a new feature: 11 tickets closed in all, by fu, rb, allen, kareila, exor674 and denise, with the help of people egging them on, adding information to tickets and making suggestions. This feels mostly like a tour of things fixed or made right, but there’s likely something for everyone (polls! user heads! usability! accessibility! media players! code nitpicks!) in this tour’s ménagerie.

The last code push completed on the 26th, so most of these changes are waiting in the wings for the next one.

( On with the tour! )

You may have noticed a new “Suggested by:” line on some of the bugs, giving credit to users who clicked on the "Make a Suggestion" link and brought something to the attention of the developers. There is a hackathon on targeting suggestion-based patches, so expect to see more of that field in the near future!
