yes, it's the BUG-O-MATIC! it slices! it dices!
Round and around and around it goes; where it stops, only D knows!
Several people in irc have mentioned how much they like it when I pull out bugs that I particularly want done and try to match them up with people to do them, since it takes the pressure of having to pick a bug to work on away from them. I am offering to do the same for people who don't frequent irc, or are never there when I'm around!
If you want me to suggest for you a selection of bugs that I think you might enjoy working on, tell me:
* Your experience level (n00b, beginner, middling-fair, experienced, hot shit)
* Any areas you particularly like working on
* Any areas you particularly hate working on
* Any areas of the code you know you don't know, or that confuse you or whatever, and you don't particularly want to learn right now
* Your favorite patch you've written so far (the one you were most proud of, the one that was most fun to do, etc)
* Whether you're looking for something simple or complex, and how much free time you have to devote to DW in the next month or so
I will then suggest for you a list of 3-5 bugs that I think you might enjoy doing! There is no obligation involved -- the bugs will not be automatically assigned to you, nor will they be your responsibility to fix. This is just an opportunity to get a selection of bugs pointed out to you that you might not pick out of the 600-some open bugs clamoring for attention, in the hopes you might find something interesting to work on.

Areas of code: I have not done nearly enough to know what I like or dislike, I don't think. I like doing "new" things so that I learn, but at this point, just about anything is probably new, so really whatever, wherever.
Favorite patch: Probably 620 (was an English-stripping bug), because it was a little more involved than the the other two that I picked up mostly to figure out how patching worked.
Simple/Complex/Free Time: Simple. I don't really have a lot of free time to devote to figuring out more than one complex/time-consuming thing, and I'm already working on trying to convert my style to S2. I think I'd mostly want something simple enough that I can mainly focus on figuring out patching (again) and where things are. I'd like to do it enough that I don't feel like it's a big thing to figure out each time so I can focus on more complex bugs later.
