On 5 October, 2011, we held a bug triage for open fundraising-related issues in Bugzilla. We specifically selected low-hanging fruit to keep the barrier to participation low.
During the triage, we made it through 9 of the 12 selected bugs. You can view the full list of bugs in Bugzilla: http://bit.ly/qSGKn4
We closed a couple of them, but we are still looking for help in closing the remaining issues - please take a stab at closing one or some of these issues and be in touch!
== i18n-related bugs ==
* https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/19895 * **Fold identical messages, or state that they should or could be different.*
This component (FundraiserPortal), is no longer in use, so this bug was closed, marked RESOLVED WONTFIX.
== ContributionReporting bugs ==
* http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/23599 *Add support for date range in ContributionTrackingStatistics*
The idea here is to be able to specify a particular date range and get corresponding fundraising-related stats back. This is a relatively straightforward new feature that would greatly increase the usability of this page. Performance is something to keep in mind while implementing this feature, and could be a nice introduction for someone learning how to deal with caching and concurrency issues on the WMF cluster.
The special page in question can be viewed at http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:ContributionStatistics
* http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/25430 *Fundraising-related Special pages need header and footer messages*
This is a really easy bug to knock out - great for a quick fix by a vet or a really gentle introduction to MediaWiki hacking. It simply requires adding some i18n messages (which could be empty) that get loaded in the appropriate place on the page, which can then be overridden on-wiki.
* http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/25608 *MediaWiki:Fundraiserstats-tab-ytd should not contain (USD)*
The feature in reference was introduced here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/60222. The messaging could either be modified on-wiki or could be changed in-code.
* http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/26387 *Add better key to Fundraiser stats page*
A fun and straightforward feature enhancement for one of the key community-facing stats pages of the fundraiser ( http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Special:FundraiserStatistics). There may have been some work done on this already in trunk - if there is, it is likely incomplete. All that this entails is adding a key or legend to the stats graph.
* http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/30820 *Special:FundraisingStatistics graph spills out of main content area*
We did not have time to address this issue during the triage.
* http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/30818 *Special:FundraisingStatistics should display selected years and localizable by timezone*
We did not have time to address this issue during the triage.
== CentralNotice bug ==
* http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/28903 *Make banner translations get deleted when banners are removed automatically*
This issue might become easier to resolve with the impending implementation of the Translage extension on meta.wikimedia.org
== CiviCRM-related bug ==
* http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/24830 *International addresses not displaying and/or saving correctly*
This one is a little hairy and very annoying. Abbreviations for 'states' for 47 non-US countries are numerical digits in the CiviCRM database. Mark Hershberger said he would open a bug in CiviCRM to deal with this issue. aude_ suggested that data could be taken from naturalearthdata.comhttp://natualearthdata.com/. If anyone wants to tackle this, efforts should be coordinated with the CiviCRM community (see #civicrm on irc.freenode.net).
