Hi!

So, what about this? You have a potential developer wanting to join in
and develop a new feature. Maybe even help with other stuff. But who
is afraid that if he even makes a patch it will stay in the ticket for
next 5 years. So I would like to discuss things in advance, so that if
I spend time working on that I would not do in vain. I would only like
to assume that if the code will be of good quality, will not break
anything, will adhere to coding principles, will do what we discuss it
should do, ...., that it will be added to codebase, preferably for or
even before 0.13.

Maybe one answer to
http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/SeaChange/WhatDevelopersWant how an
enthusiastic developer feels.

My concrete proposals are:

- make a settings option which would enable html5 doctype on all
current xhtml output
- if this settings option is in effect and (currently) the request is
coming from a known (configurable) browser which support html5 doctype
is changed
- if doctype is html5 attachment field is extended to support
drag&drop and multifile attachments

I would also implement preprocess interface, where plugins could deny
attachment, preprocess it in some way, maybe even more "replace or not
replace" behavior to it, like I described in previous e-mails.

Is this a valid proposal? Is it something Trac developers could agree
on that it would be useful to or at least that they would not mind it
be included in the core codebase for those of us who would find it
more then useful.

So, you have one possible long-term contributor who really likes the
project and would like to join in the active development, but would
like some assurance that time and energy spend on the project would
not go in vain (of course I understand that you do not know me so it
is natural that those assurances would be conditioned by quality of my
results and similar). It just the feeling a person gets from the
tickets, that even if I will do my job properly it will collect dust.

Best regards


Mitar
