      testing it on different systems and environments.

      RunPON works on Gnome and XFCE; it probably works on other environments, but was not tested.

      • 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?

    • 1
      subtle problems with the button.

      Sometimes the "off" button is pressed, and the GUI reacts correctly, but no command is executed.

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

      partial integration with DBus/network manager.

      In the repository there's some untested code to talk with a network manager using DBus; it could be developed and tested.

      • 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.
