I'll lob up an easy one, let's see if there are any takers. The task is
to update the node.js version of the board agenda tool to add a new feature.
If you look at the current board agenda, the HTTP server team has posted
an early report, and mentioned two resolved CVE's. CVE numbers are in a
well known format, and if a string that matches that format is found in
a report, it is highly likely to represent a CVE.
The code that renders a report passes the text through a number of
filters to augment the HTML that is generated. It is easy to add a filter:
https://github.com/apache/whimsy/commit/1316a898d5e8c91e8a33d89565d12efc4842dd56
Whimsy already converts the code to JavaScript to send to the browser.
Go to
https://github.com/apache/whimsy/commit/1316a898d5e8c91e8a33d89565d12efc4842dd56
and search for "// hotlink to CVE" and a few lines later, "// determine
what text filters to run".
The code that would need to be changed can be found here:
https://github.com/rubys/whimsy-board-agenda-nodejs/blob/master/src/client/pages/report.js
The README for that project should contain enough information on how to
get started, but if it helps, I have a video walkthrough:
