Dreamwidth Development Training

Difficulty verifying changes

Hello! I got a brand new dreamhack today, and I'm trying my hand at the simple whitelist bugs, but I can't verify my changes. I'm making changes to ~/dw/cgi-bin/DW/Hooks/EmbedWhitelist.pm, but the tests don't pick up the changes, nor does the behaviour change on my dreamhack. Any one have ideas on what I'm missing?

Is Dreamhack still open for new people?

How to get comments through the API?

How do I get post comments through the API? I can get posts with LJ.XMLRPC.getevents, and in the original LJ there's a method called LJ.XMLRPC.getcomments, but when I tried it on DW API, I got "Client error: Unknown method". Not nice.

I've put up a post in dw_dev with details of the contributor event on the 14th and 15th of May. For bonus points, account creation is now working for the wiki, so documentation efforts are welcomed and encouraged!

I've also updated the masterlist of introductory bugs, with one new issue for a total of 18 unclaimed issues. If you've been thinking of getting involved I would be delighted if you showed up (virtually or in person) to the contributor event. As ever, here's how to get started. :-)

Two new issues (... and two older ones I'd overlooked), for a total of 13 unclaimed bugs.

There's a contributor weekend going on at the moment -- if you'd like company while you work on any of them, or cheerleading, or what have you, locals can come along in person and everybody else is super welcome to jump into IRC or PM me (or cesy) to set up telecommuting in by Skype or similar!

... with one new issue (adding DeviantArt as an option for listing accounts on other sites on your profile) for a total of eleven unclaimed issues.

Also, cesy is hosting a Dreamwidth contributor weekend in London next week. I ran one of these in November, and we had people telecommuting in (via Skype, Google video chat, and IRC) from places as far away as Australia. If you'd like some company while getting stuck into bugs, it'd be great to see you (virtually or otherwise) there!

I am as ever happy to answer questions or point you in appropriate directions! Issues include two things that need adding to the whitelist, and two places where the code machete needs wielding to tidy things up.

One 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. :-)

Hi 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 :-)
