Getting back in to things?

[wyntarvox]

Hopefully at least a few people remember who I am! I'm interested in easing myself back in to a few dev-related things on Dreamwidth. I have had a read through this and other communities and couldn't see anything, but have there been any significant changes in process etc that I should know about before I jump back in?

Welcome back Wyn! I don't think the process has changed significantly. We still submit patches to Bugzilla for review, and we still hang out on IRC to help each other out. Depending on how long you've been gone, you may need to change your IRC server info - we've moved our chat rooms to Freenode, as detailed here: http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/IRC

Thank you! For the welcome back and the information.

I dropped in to the new IRC home briefly last night, but I think everyone was sleeping and/or working. I'm hoping to get in to some hacking this weekend though, so I'm sure I'll be poking around various places!

The major changes are not strictly process: we're getting rid of BML (progressively converting to Template Toolkit) and using jQuery instead of homegrown (FSVO) Javascript libraries.

I vaguely remember discussions concerning TT before I left. I guess I should start getting myself across that!

Yay, jQuery! I'm a bit of a fanboy. ;)
