Assigned-bugs hackathon!

I checked tonight, and we've got 571 open bugs. That's a lot! 146 of them are assigned with no patch, and if we could make some inroads on that number, we'd be able to knock down the total open number a hell of a lot.

So, here's my hackathon challenge! If you've got assigned bugs, let's do whatever we can this week to get that number down. I'll start; I have 8 bugs assigned to me without a patch, and while some of them are waiting on other things to get resolved first, some of them are things I've just been putting off because I don't know exactly how to do them or was running into problems.

I've already yelled for help on what I'm stuck on, so I'll turn to y'all: what can I help you with on stuff you're stuck on? And if not me, who else can help you? A bunch of the existing assigned stuff is really complex, so let's all work together and see how much we can improve things.

Ideally, I'd like to get that "open" number down below 500 by Sunday night, and double ideally, the "all unassigned" number (currently at 386) down under 300.

*salutes you all*

:) You can thank Afuna because she held my hand through the whole thing. I'm not sure I truly understand what I'm doing - PuTTY and MQs are still quite a mystery - but it mostly does what I want it to do so...

I'll tell you a secret: I don't understand half of what I'm doing either, I just cut and paste from the other code. ;)

XD That's how I learned S2 and it "only" took me two years so who knows?

Turns out I've got a question for you: Bases/Strawberry Sundae doesn't quite look like the designer intended for it to be because of some bug. She meant the header to be transparent and the outline removed. Because the header background used the wrong property, it is currently not transparent. Should we fix that, or as it is already live, should we leave it like it is? I'm thinking of people wondering what's going on with their layout changing all of a sudden... OTOH, it's just the header. But the preview would have to be redone.

P.S. And she's just told me she doesn't mind if we leave it as it is.

If it's not what the designer intended for it to be, I say we should fix it.

Ok then I've got to wait for another Bases patch to be committed first. Thanks for the answer, Denise. :)
