I see. Let's hope Sean will fix them soon and we can get rid of xscreensaver
finally!
OT:
Is there some ToDo list or open bugs for oS:Xfce? Maybe especially for someone
without "real" dev skills? I still struggle to get into work at openSUSE...
The XFCE bugs get auto-assigned to [email protected]. That's
a mailing list where I'm pretty sure
nobody is subscribed anymore ;-)
I am not ;-P. I just check bugzilla every now and then but automatic
alerts would indeed be useful.
I have a bugzilla search:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&list_id=11609241&namedcmd=bnc-team-xfce%40forge.provo.novell.com
(no idea if this only works for me when logged in...)
I get an error. Perhaps it's available with your credentials Stefan?
It's basically this:
Resolution: ---
Classification: openSUSE
Status: UNCONFIRMED, NEW, CONFIRMED, IN_PROGRESS, REOPENED

QA Contact: [email protected]
So watching for this list and then adding one of the real maintainers (mostly
Maurizio nowadays, but Takashi and me are
also taking care), maybe after some initial triaging would really be useful and
does not need developer skills.
This would be IMO a really welcome task helping to remind me (at least) to look
at the reported bugs. To be honest, now
that Maurizio is doing lots of XFCE work, I am more often tending to other
projects and had not looked at that bugzilla
search for quite some time, maybe for more than 6 months. Additionally, it is
not nice for us (me) letting bug reporters
wait long for an initial responce.
Yes this is something that is not always easy to stay on top of. Having
someone helping keeping an eye out for xfce related bugs and assign them
would certainly help speeding up the responses. Some cleanup would also
be good as there are also some pretty old bugs that should be closed.
Another thing I had done regularly was checking for upstream updates for all
packages available in X11:xfce repo and
doing simple version updates. Again, nowadays Maurizio is taking care of this,
but I guess he would not turn down a
helping hand.
Absolutely! The more people joining this effort the better :-).
Then something that I had totally neglected: check if the XFCE upstream has
changed default configuration and our
standard setup is no longer the best. Also: compare the openSUSE XFCE
experience with other distribution's XFCE and
check what we can learn from them, or where we can unify the efforts.
I think there are some relatively low hanging fruit where starting to
contribute is easy.
+1. I'm not exactly a distro hopper and I don't check out much what
happens around, with exception of xubuntu that I keep in a VM.
Vinz since you work with different distros this is an area that I think
you could really help with if you wish to do so :-)
I would add that the wiki and documentation could use some update too.
It's something that.
Stefan thanks for the "how to contribute to openSUSE Xfce" summary. I
think it should also go somewhere in the wiki perhaps :-).
Cheers,
