      • Tip:

        Discuss documentation, testing, webmastering, and/or publicity.

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

      • Example:

        We need people to download version 0.4.5 and make sure the frobulator still frobulates correctly.

  • Q: What's a good bug for a newcomer to tackle?

      Unit tests.

      We already have a bunch of unit tests. Writing tests for simple classes of Qt Jambi helps you to better understand how Qt works in Java way, later you can jump into more complex hacks. Also if there are any beginner-class bugs we will mark them on our bug tracker: http://redmine.smar.fi/projects/qtjambi .

      Writing content

      Our documentation is not (still out), but writing tutorials, how to set up things, telling neat tricks how to make good deployment and such stuff would be really useful.

      Messing around the project

      This is not really an issue, but best way to get started with actual code is just starting to do something. Developers will help when there is problems, but unless you don’t try, nothing will happen! (Yes, I’m talking to you!)

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

      Documentation

      Currently documentation generation is done using qdoc3 tool. I imported it to Jambi’s repository, but it doesn’t seem to work as is, and future of that tool is still open. So digging into it would be needed for it to work.

      • 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.

What else do you want to talk about?
