I also tend to prefer mentoring to posting detailed instructions to follow to fix a given bug. The issues you can encounter while pushing a patch are varied, so a bit more hand-holding is valuable. It also makes for a better inter-personal experience to interact with a human on IRC vs. interacting with step-by-step instructions posted on a bug. So low-hanging-fruit tagging + available mentors sounds like a powerful combination. -- Thierry Carrez (ttx) __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
