kaberettOne new bug, for a total of five unassigned issues. If you think that number sounds much lower than it has been for the past few weeks, that's because sgsabbage just joined the project and got a bit enthusiastic, so a shout-out and congrats on that!
I've also added links to a couple of places to find slightly more challenging bugs to fix, if that's your cup of tea. :-)

Jul. 31st, 2015 01:45 pmkaberettHi folk,
Masterlist updated with one new issue, bringing us to a total of eight unclaimed issues. Of these, two are adding sites to the embed whitelist (for which we have a wiki page!), one is adding another site to the <user name=""> tag (which I've touched extensively recently and would be delighted to help with); and then there's some site text that needs tweaking, and a few bits of CSS that could use some love.
I'd be more than happy to provide encouragement on any of these, and can actively help out with site text, the user name tag, and whitelisting embeds :-)

Jul. 20th, 2015 03:24 pmkaberettninetydegreesHi! I would love to patch the style I've submitted but I don't know if it needs @media $medium_media_query and @media $large_media_query and if so, where to put them exactly. Could someone explain our breakpoint system to me?
kareilaWho all has converted an existing TT template to use Foundation? Any tips on converting CSS properties to SCSS rules? What are the most basic requirements for a successful conversion? Asking for a friend... well, everyone.

Updated masterlist of bugs for beginners!
Jul. 6th, 2015 05:58 pmkaberettFolk -- I have (extremely belatedly) updated the masterlist and set up systems to encourage me not to leave it so long next time. There are nine issues looking for loving homes, ranging from single-character fixes to editing every. single. style. Have fun!
seattlefreezerHello,
I'm a new developer (emphasis on the new). I'm trying to expand my skillset in programming and open-source works. I've been told you guys have a great community and are very helpful to newcomers. Please, if you have any tips, resources or suggestions send them my way.
I'm interested in front-end work, graphical interfaces and the like. I have some experience in java, python, html and css. I'm good at photoshop/illustrator as well if there is any need for something along those lines.
Specifically, I've tasked myself with converting the birthdays.tt code to run on foundation. Here's a question, where do I find the birthdays.tt page to see how it looks now?
Thank you very much and I look forward to learning and helping.
Aaron

HOWTO: Dreamwidth API
Nov. 17th, 2014 09:55 pmvlionHOWTO Use the Dreamwidth API
DW endpoint: "https://www.dreamwidth.org/interface/xmlrpc"
Invoke LJ.XMLRPC.getchallenge on the endpoint, receiving something like...
"auth_scheme" :STRING "c0"
"server_time" :INTEGER <epoch time>
"challenge" :STRING "c0:1416283200:2410:60:4QoGWOXV0uB9gBaZ0LB0:5a1901a0feccabcb30fbe6e85878f758")
"expire_time" :INTEGER <epoch time>))
Pick challenge out, md5_hex[0] the challenge concatenated with
the md5_hex of the account password; call the result response.
response = md5(concat(challenge, md5(password)))
Then, for function in the API, invoke LJ.RPC.function using auth_method = challenge and
auth_response = response.
Proceed as appropriate for said function
[0] .. digest in hexadecimal form. The length of the returned string
will be 32 and it will only contain characters from this set:
'0'..'9' and 'a'..'f'.
pauammaThis is as mentioned in http://dw-dev-training.dreamwidth.org/58411.html. The question thread for this month is at http://dw-dev.dreamwidth.org/161662.html.
Moving open question threads to dw_dev?
Jul. 5th, 2014 01:36 pmpauammaAs discussed in http://dw-dev.dreamwidth.org/155783.html?style=mine#cutid1, I'm considering moving the question threads from dw_dev_training to dw_dev (with the rules otherwise unchanged), for better visibility, but before I decide whether to go ahead, I'd like to know whether you all would feel comfortable with the possible added exposure of your questions, or with being there vs. here, whatever the reason.
Question thread #21
Jul. 5th, 2014 01:28 pmpauammaIt's time for another question thread!
The rules:
- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

Dear Changelog Admins,
Jul. 4th, 2014 02:58 pmninetydegreesCan one of you move the search module of Changelog towards the top of the sidebar, please?
Edit: actually could you do this for dw_dev and dw_dev_training as well? Maybe other comms too.

DW babydev bug!
Jun. 21st, 2014 06:16 pmfoxfirefeySo, our list of babydev bugs is a bit out of sync because Bugzilla is gone now and we're using GitHub Issues. I was paging through them and found some good babydev bait:
Add flickr embeds to our whitelist #720
And there is even a wiki page telling you what files to poke at and giving an example!
Embed bugs are a very good way to dip your toe into development because the what-to-do-where is so clearly defined that you can focus on all the other steps in getting started.
If you want to work on something still pretty simple, there is also screened comment text slightly inaccurate still in comms #742
