If you caught our talk at LCA this morning and wanted to ask questions, but didn't get a chance, this is your place!

(We'll be putting up our slides as soon as we get a chance, for those who missed the stream.)

Awesome :) I've been seeing a lot of positive reactions; I'm looking forward to being able to grab the slides/video to watch it for myself!

Indeed, this entire conference is pretty intense on the brain exercising... Just as well I have a week off after it!

How can fuzzy brain people who are on dial up help out? (AKA Me.)

What kind of things are you interested in doing?

I wanted to learn more about the style system. Things like fixing it up, cleaning out the old code, bringing in the new works. But I was afraid that with my slow fuzzy brain, I might hinder rather than help. :(

So, how can I be of service, without getting in the way?

Saw the talk. Enjoyed it. Signed up and have even got a bug I'm going to work on :)

What a fine day this has turned out to be.

Were you the guy who came up afterwards and said he was going to try to get a bug fixed that afternoon? :-)

Either way, welcome! Glad to have you.

If you have any questions, or need anything, we're happy to help. If you throw up a post in this community ([site community profile] dw_dev or even [site community profile] dw_dev_training) you usually get answers within a few hours.

Alternately, IRC is available (if you haven't found it yet) for more real-time help. (But not all of our community is on IRC, or is always paying attention.)

Another useful link:

http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Dev_Getting_Started

That's a wiki page for getting started with development. If anything is unclear, let us know, or update it yourself! Always happy to have people improving the wiki, especially people who are newer to the project.

Enough rambling. Welcome!

One of the things you mentioned is that you have tab/whitespace oddities that Mark cleans up.

I suspect that a hook/trigger could be written such that when the main repo gets committed to, a perl script is fired and the oddities are cleaned up automagically. Has that been thought about and investigated?
