[personal profile] liv
So I was kind of an embryo dev for a long time, fixing little things in S2 and getting [personal profile] fu to turn my fixes into patches. I'm most proud of the first version of the Page Summary gadget and reworking custom reading page colors, including a mini-template thingy for layout makers. I decided I really ought to be making my own patches, which I viewed as graduating from embryo to baby. This turned out to be a bit of a saga, but now I've done it, I thought I'd contribute a bug write-up.

this is really, really basic! )

After several false starts (don't worry, I won't write up the saga of my horrendous attempts to make a color theme, which I'd expected would be an easy beginner bug and turned out to have hidden complications), it took me just a couple of hours from opening the bug to submitting a patch. OK, a couple of hours for 12 lines of code is not particularly impressive, but I was trying lots of things for the first time. I hope that as my babyhood phase progresses those effort-minor bugs will actually be a minor effort!
