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*

I will set myself a goal of getting at least one of them submitted this weekend. Some of the accessibility things are just too big-picture and overwhelmed me. I might just need some handholding in IRC. Maybe if

Accessibility is good. Which ones are you working on?

My open list of bugs.
820 is what I was mostly working on, but it was just too big. Writing up a spec on my lonesome for a standard which is poorly supported among user agents and browsers anyway was just too frustrating, which is why I decided I needed to pick up a second one to get me back in the swing of things.
I picked up 1665 because I thought it would be that small ticket, but it got a lot bigger, so if I do that when I have to learn more about how hooks work. Which, you know, I can do. It was just a little discouraging.
1147 is probably the smallest one I have, and the discouraging part about that one is just, you know what it's like to go back to code you have worked on again and again and rewrite something you wrote before? I should probably take that one and get it out of the way.
513 is huge. When I was doing a lot of user icon work, I got frustrated at how messy the code was, and how much some things called the old non-object oriented functions and other things come the methods and the end result was that most things had to call both. I know that's true all over the dreamwidth codebase, but this was the part that I looked at and decided needed cleaning up. But it's not easy at all.
1016 actually looks pretty easy and straightforward and important. I'm not sure of the difficulty yet, since I hadn't really looked at it until now.
Which one do you think looks best, cheerleader?

For 820, would wikifying what you've got so far be a good idea, or posting it in
1665 looks like one of those ones that grows and grows. It will mean lots more shiny styles, though.
Yeah, reopened bugs are discouraging. It would be good to get it finally sorted, though.
I'd say go for 1016 and 1147, to get the latter ticked off and have something shiny and important to work on in between to encourage you.
no subject
(I have to tell you to give myself accountability, otherwise I will go distract myself with something shiny. Oh, look, glitter pom!)

Also, that person in the other discussion needs to have both of his or her legs broken so he or she has to use a wheelchair for six months. I'm just sayin'.
no subject
And thank you. I will now do 1016. Woot.

Ha. Ha ha. Ha ha ha. Ha ha ha ha.
