 Mark: Thanks, as always, for running this triage.  I have now added the
 relevant bugs to

 which you should feel free to hand out to developers interested in
 writing their first MediaWiki patch.

I sporadically made a complementary page (without references) at
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_large_bugs which lists more complex
(and more exciting) bugs.

The easy bugs list is nice, but it doesn't really spark much creative
energy. A second page with more exciting (but harder to implement) bugs
seemed appropriate. :-)

I tried to list bugs that a lot of users are more likely to encounter, both
on Wikimedia wikis and on their personal MediaWiki installs.

 This past Wednesday, we had our second IRC triage.  The focus was on
 triaging bugs marked “easy”, verifying that they were still bugs and
 making sure they were actually something a new coder could do.

 This meant we had a larger number of bugs to cover.  I had planned
 only 2 minutes per bug in order to get through all of them in an hour
 which caused problems.  This short time limit created some problems
 which means I'll have to be careful to restrict the number of bugs in
 the future, or tell people the time for the triage will be longer than
 one hour.

 Still, despite the problems, hosting the triage in IRC meant that some
 developers interested in MediaWiki that Sumana invited were able to
 watch and volunteer developers were able able to participate.
