Gang: For those of you who aren't subscribed to the general@ list, there's an active debate going on right now as to whether we have enough diversity of committership to warrant graduating. Regardless of how the vote goes, people are bringing up good points about how we as a project should be striving to get all of our committers more active in the codebase. Along those lines, I did a quick run through JIRA to see if there were any tickets that might be good candidates to encourage the group at large to tackle. Here's what I came up with:
Low hanging fruit. These tickets are currently assigned to Greg, but they really could be taken on by anybody - is anyone game to tackle one? - PIVOT-129: Review thread prioritization - PIVOT-173: Add bounds checks on skin styles More involved. The additions to Meter would be a great way for someone to get comfortable writing actual components and skins. These would be more involved than the previous category, but it'd be great if someone wanted to "own" Meter. I own it right now, but if someone's interested, I'd be happy to guide them in the implementation of these tickets. - PIVOT-26: Add orientation to Meter component - PIVOT-33: Add support for Meter#text property in TerraMeterSkin Already assigned. These tickets are already assigned to Sandro, Chris, and Noel. Any chance anyone has some time to work on them? - PIVOT-140: Create Demos for other major JVM Scripting languages - PIVOT-43: Add support for digest authentication to web queries - PIVOT-180: Add Resources.parent (resource hierarchy) - PIVOT-78: implement a font chooser widget - PIVOT-77: implement a color chooser widget Cheers, -T
