Hi Folks,
To give you a rough idea of how GHC activity is ramping up, take a look at the
number of tickets assigned to recent milestones:
6.4.2: 27 tickets
6.6: 48 tickets
6.6.1: 107 tickets (61 open)
6.8: 134 tickets (117 open)
We're focussed on getting 6.6.1 out of the door at the moment. We still have 61
open tickets though, so this message is a plea for help: if you have some time
to spare, and would like to help out, please get involved!
Here is a query that gives you the list of bugs milestoned for 6.6.1 with no
current owner:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&group=milestone&milestone=6.6.1&owner=&order=priority
I've also listed the bugs at the end of this message. Some of the bugs we've
marked as low priority (blue background), those are the ones we consider would
be "nice to fix" but not essential for 6.6.1 (some of these are quite easy,
incedentally).
The protocol is, if you start working on a bug then claim it by setting yourself
as the owner. Other guidelines for working on GHC can be found here:
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/WorkingConventions
in particular see the section at the end of that page about use of the bug
tracker. If you need permission to modify tickets, please ask either myself or Ian.
Cheers,
Simon
