Many development-type people have asked what kind of projects they can work on that would be quick and easy, as an introduction to the codebase (which is, I'm very sorry to say, sort of a Fetid Shambling Horror of the Deep in some cases, while being very well-architected and well-maintained in others). I thought it would be a good time to toss out a link to some of our "effort-minor" bugs -- things that should be accomplishable in a few hours.
http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=effort- minor&resolution=--- is our list of bugs keyworded "effort-minor". Some of these require some familiarity with the codebase, but others are very much "jump in and do"! Here's eight "effort-minor" items that might interest someone, a combination of enhancements and bugfixes: http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28: Download CSV of poll results. http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26: Display how a person answered all questions of a poll. http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92: Cross-site use of <lj user> tags. http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119: Fix improper escaping on emailed private messages. http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=132: Inbox sub-filter refreshes to wrong page when deleting all items. http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=48: Respect lj-cut in the inbox (user-defined parameter) http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31: "Expand all comments on page" option http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5: Add "current mood of service" toy If you're the type who likes starting off with a more involved project, meanwhile, here are some self-contained "effort-medium" or "effort-major" projects that you might want to grab and run with: http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53: Userpic keyword renaming http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=25: Display poll question cross-correlation http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52: Spamassassin plugin for @dreamwidth.org email addresses Information on getting the Dreamwidth code set up can be found on our Wiki, here: http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Dev_Getting_Started Our programming guidelines can be found here: http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Dev_Programming_Guidelines Our Bugzilla workflow overview can be found here: http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Bugzilla_workflow --D -- Denise Paolucci [email protected] Dreamwidth Studios: Open Source, open expression, open operations.
