[more babydev bait forthcoming!]

Because the last one was so popular -- next weekend (or maybe before!) I'll be having a rummage through recent bugs and putting together a list of babydev bait!

This is your advance warning :-) Things that you could do now to make it easier to hit the ground running when the list comes are:

If you've got any special requests for areas of the site, or types of code, LMK in comments and I'll see what I can dig out - otherwise I'll try to provide a fair range, though I know nerthing about styles so I'm likely to be of limited use in picking out useful ones of those for you!

In the meantime, it's worth checking out the previous list, put together by [staff profile] denise; some have been taken, but a lot are still marked Unassigned (no-one's said YEP I WANNA DO THAT), and I'm pretty sure that [personal profile] fu wouldn't mind letting you take over the ones she's claimed ;)

If you want help with any of the above, you can ask in comments here OR you can come and find us in IRC (we're very friendly! I hung out there for a good six months before I dared begin to think about code) OR you can make a new post or, you know, pretty much any other way you can think of asking for help that doesn't actually involve smoke signals from the fire of the machines the site runs on. ;)

also, there was a recent suggestions run, and that often includes a plethora of babydev-bait! suggestions stuff tends to either be REALLY BIG AND COMPLEX or really tiny and two-line.

Also, if you're pretty sure you could patch the bug if you could just find where in the heck that code lives, asking in irc or [site community profile] dw_dev_training is definitely a good thing to do! I keep meaning to produce the list of "where to find things that aren't obvious" one of these days. in fact, i think i might go post asking ppl for the stuff they've lost before.
