      Check out the github repo at http://github.com/zquestz/throttled and read through the sparse documentation. Then setup the daemon once to see how everything is configured.

      Documentation

      Take a stab at producing higher quality documentation. Right now most of it lives in throttled-startup when it really shouldn't. There is much room for improvement and pretty much any documentation is better than what's there now.

      • 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?

    • [X]

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

      Linux Support

      Currently most linux kernels don't ship with divert sockets. This requires users to compile their own modified kernel to support throttled. In addition most linux distros use iptables and the throttled-startup script is currently designed to work with ipfw.

      • 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.
