-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
I've not been working on ticket t#1942 [1] for a while, but this has not been due to lack of interest. Quite the contrary is true: This code has become part of all of my Trac application. Now I rely on bringing it to Trac core. And I'd certainly like to obsolete a number of rather awkward attempts to work-around this limitation in Trac core ASAP too, the most prominent being the DateFieldPlugin [3]. This is an appeal for mentor-ship since Remy disclosed up-on request on 14-Jan-2012 in IRC channel #trac, that he'd probably not be able to push this development within the next days/weeks/months but wouldn't mind, if I'd find someone else to help instead. First, I've put my Mercurial patch stack to BitBucket tonight [4]. Second, I've to declare, that patches applied cleanly against trac-r10883, but not anymore. By chance I'd wait for some feedback, before doing another pass over this. Third, please feel welcomed to engage. I've granted write access to all current Trac core developers. Think, if you could do something for this development. I'm no Python professional by no means, will need further guidance on Trac coding style, especially when it comes to unit and functional tests. But I'm certainly willing to learn what's required to reach the goal of this effort. Not because I can do it all, but I'm confident, that it could be done: I've started with virtually no Python coding experience 2 years ago. After some progress my initial patches have been revised and greatly reworked by Remy. I've done some more work at the end of last December to adapt to recent changes. Especially Jun's great work to get configuration and localization for date/time stamps into Trac `trunk` come to my mind. It works for me in production - 50+ users and a couple of environments with hundreds to several thousand tickets, one or two custom time fields in each. There is even Trac plugin support for custom time fields at least by Wiki(Ticket)CalendarMacro [5] and CustomFieldAdminPlugin [6] (pending patch). I was rather pessimistic about attempting to resolve such an old ticket. OTOH I needed it. Simon, Remy and others encouraged me. It can't require magic to finally bring it home now. Please help. Looking forward to getting your response.
