I did not know this about bug mashes when I start, but figured it out after
researching the Rails Bug Mash material. Also played with the term
"Coding Dojo" but did not fit. Currently it is a Hack Fest as a general term
to suggest a one-day event where the Watir community focuses on
contributing. Still figuring out if I want to do both local (co-working)
and virtual events on same day, we will see.
>>> Are we getting close
to release of the watir-webdriver?
A lot of my work involved figuring out what the status was
and where I might be able to help out.
I was excited about the watir-webdriver and thought I might
could start up the Opensolaris work, but found that other things
needed to be done before that work. Then I looked into the
Safari (:safari) driver for watir-webdriver since I use Macs at
work. I found that the remote driver is Java-based and the
selenium-webdriver is part of the huge selenium project so
that slowed me down.
i will let Jari and Simon speak to the specific release schedule.
Hope this helps.
FYI,
Al Snow

I have a question.
Typically, you do a bug mash when you are close to making a new release. It
helps flush out bugs in the new release. Is this what is happening, or is that
why you changed the name to a Hack Fest? Are we getting close to release of the
watir-webdriver?

Subject: [Wtr-development] Suggest Watir Hack Fest for April 2010
Folks,
I would like to help organize a Watir-related
BugMash, for April 10th (one day), similar to
the recent Rails event (http://bugmash.com/).
It would focus on Watir, WatirSpec, and Webdriver-Watir/
Selenium-Webdriver tool to report, reproduce, fix,
and submit patches/commits. Hopefully we can
include adding safari driver to webdriver-watir.
(http://railsbridge.org/news_items/9)
(https://rails.lighthouseapp.com/projects/8994/sending-patches)
What do you think?
How can I improve this event?
Thanks,
Al
