Hello all,
The hackathon is already next week! So this would be a good time to
start thinking about the projects we would like to work on. I have
some proposals:
* How to merge trunk and rewrite? They have co-existed for years now,
and we should really merge them. Can we find a path to either merge
them or to quickly move the missing components from trunk to rewrite?
Given that there are quite a lot of pwb developers coming, I think we
should be able to at least sketch a roadmap for this.
* Interface localisation. This has been a running request for a few
years, and xqt has started some initial work on it. I expect there
will be quite a lot of localisation know-how around.
* Wiki-based configuration. Currently, we have a lot of hacks
throughout the code to change the behaviour for a specific wiki. We
should try and see if we can move to a wiki-based configuration
system, where the behaviour of the bot is controlled by flags on the
wiki itself. This also includes stuff like the text & summaries to
display. The MediaWiki people could be very helpful for this.
* Patch review spree! There is still a backlog, and we can fix that
(and it's much more fun to do together).
Please share your ideas on possible projects!
Best,
Merlijn
