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'm kind of new to this, so I'm curious as to how it works, what skills are needed, etc?

Are you able to make Bugzilla accounts using your dreamwidth email?
