  • Q: I'd like to participate. How do I begin?

      You can dive into the source by downloading it and running the tests, and looking for a simple bug to fix either in the code or in the documentation.

      We have an active IRC channel - #buildbot on Freenode - and a mailing list (buildbot-devel). Find all the linky goodness at http://trac.buildbot.net/wiki/Development.

      This just involves adding some checks to the configuration-loading process.

      WithProperties is supported on many parameters to buildsteps, but not this one. There are many other examples in the source.

      • 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 Buildbot that you've been putting off, neglecting, or just plain avoiding?

      • 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.
