Howdy all, I've recently taken up perusing the PR database looking for small(ish) bugs that will help me: (1) start contributing to FreeBSD again (2) familiarize myself with -CURRENT.
Last weekend I knocked off #43337 (to which my patch still remains unaddressed) and started looking for more and more bugs, particularly in the 'bin' category. I've noticed a couple things, and would love a helping hand with: * There's a lot of **old** PRs, some of the userland bugs that are over a decade old I have no idea what to do with (try to reproduce a bug filed against 2.2?) * There's a lot of PRs with patches and a discussion; I don't *think* I can do anything helpful with these Additionally, I feel somewhat overwhelmed, I'm really hunting for tasks anywhere from a few hours to an all-nighter. Some of the things the KDE team does to get people involved I find useful, such as the "bugs howto" for information on triaging and getting started with contributing: http://quality.kde.org/develop/howto/howtobugs.php As well as the "junior jobs" keyword in their bugzilla: https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?keywords=junior-jobs&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&cmdtype=doit Are there similar resources I've not stumbled across yet? I would like to help, I have but one machine running -CURRENT and sporadic free time over the weekends. Tips? :D Cheers, -R.
