      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      • Example:

        Someone could improve the photo upload dialog box so that it lets you resize the photo before sending it to the web.

  • Q: What is a bug or issue with Blindspot that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

      Rewriting some of the Libspotify interacting code

      Under the Blindspot.Core project there is a significant amount of code borrowed from the Jamcast Spotify plugin, which was the only given example of how to use LibspotifyDotNet. This code isn't really in modern .NET 4 style and isn't very clean or efficient, but I don't know enough about Libspotify or multithreading to give this a go yet.

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.

      • Note:

        If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.
