April-May Old Bugs Hackathon

[denise]

It's time for our next hackathon! The suggestions hackathon did really well in getting people inspired to clear out some older stuff, so I thought, what about clearing out some really old stuff?

From now until May 30, patching a bug with a Bugzilla ID number under 2000 (so, 1-1999) will earn 10 DW points if it's effort-minor, 50 if it's effort-medium, and 100 if it's effort-major. Patching a bug with a three-digit or less Bugzilla ID (1-999) will carry a 50% points bonus (so, 15 for effort-minor, 75 effort-medium, 150 effort-major).

I know a lot of the older bugs are huge epic things (major projects we logged up front), but many of them are smaller fixes! There's even a codemerge or two. Check out the unassigned bugs and see if there's an older bug you can give some love to.

I don't think those links will work for anyone else. I'm getting an error related to the list_id value.

Oh sorry. I thought since it was based on a shared search it would make it shareable too.

Works fine if you remove the list_id=%d parameter, so the following should work:

For bugs between 1 and 1999: http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/buglist.cgi?field0-0-0=bug_id&query_based_on=all-unassigned&query_format=advanced&bug_status=NEW&type0-0-0=lessthan&value0-0-0=1999&known_name=all-unassigned

For bugs between 1 and 999: http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/buglist.cgi?field0-0-0=bug_id&query_based_on=all-unassigned&query_format=advanced&bug_status=NEW&type0-0-0=lessthan&value0-0-0=999&known_name=all-unassigned

Great! Thanks! And here are the URLs with correct parameters and better sorting:
