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

      I haven't gotten up a test case system, though we have an idea to make one with Semantic MediaWiki.

      I don't know how long it will take to properly deploy MediaWiki with the Semantic Mediawiki and Semantic Forms plugins on a Sugar Labs box - I'm not a sysadmin, and don't trust myself to set it up "properly." http://bugs.sugarlabs.org/ticket/400.

      Once the wiki itself is up, I can easily walk someone through the process of creating the test case system structure - it would take less than 90 minutes on IRC. I've done it before. And once the system's up, I would be actively using it for the QA I'm doing for SoaS and my local deployment.

      • 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.
