Babydev bait

[denise]

Last week, afuna made a list of babydev-bait in dw_dev. Well, we all rock so hard that most of those bugs have been patched (and the ones that weren't have been claimed), so it's time to make a new list.

All of these should be good starting places for someone who's just getting their feet wet with the codebase. I've scored each one on a level of 1-3, where 1 is "really really easy" and 3 is "still suitable for a beginner, but a little more complicated".

If you're just getting started with us, check out the Getting Started and the Beginning Dev Checklist!

NOTE: April 15 is the milestone freeze for open beta. Past April 15, we won't be checking in any patches that don't patch an open-beta-blocking item. This doesn't mean you shouldn't work on things that aren't open-beta blockers -- your code will get reviewed and checked in, just not immediately! (And those two weeks between milestone freeze and open beta launch can be a good time to work on something more complex.)

Some of these require perl knowledge; some require Javascript or CSS knowledge. If you look at one and go "I have no idea how to do this", try another one! There's a wide assortment in here.

1). I think everyone does right now, although someone was trying to get the code installed on their Mac. (Don't think they succeeded, though...) The Dreamhack service uses Ubuntu, and I think it's the same version as we run in production.

2). Well, there is bin/cvsreport.pl (which is legacy from the old way of LJ development, when LJ was still using cvs as opposed to Subversion, which I believe they're using now, or Mercurial, which is what we're using) -- that does all the copying around for you if you ask it to. But yeah, definitely room for improvement there.

The Dreamhack service uses Ubuntu, and I think it's the same version as we run in production.

Not quite - it used to be the same version, when production was running Hardy Heron, but now production is running Intrepid Ibex while the hack machine is still on Hardy.

I should update some time, but I'm not sure what (if any) breakage I can expect.
