I've got an idea, the coding equivalent of high wire trapeze that might even bring non-coders, wanna-be coders and I-could-never-be-a-coders along. I hereby offer to try and find/fix any bug in any piece of software that mets the following conditions: 0) Software is released under any of the standard Open Source or Free Software licenses. 1) Is available as an official Debian package. 2) The version of the package in Debian unstable has the bug. 3) The software runs in user space (ie not kernel code). 4) Is written in C, C++ or Python. 5) Has a easy recipe for recreating the problem. 6) You notify me in advance of the Debian package name (by private email please). 7) You can be present to confirm that the bug is fixed. 8) Time permits :-). Hecklers, rubbernecks, supporters, people who think they could do better, people wanting to help etc are all welcome. I will attempt to give a running commentary the debugging progresses. All bugs found/fixed will be submitted as bug reports with a patch to Debian's bug tracking system.

I'd volunteer to a fellow high-wire artist, but I'm not confident enough in my general debugging technique. grin -- CH3 CH3 \_/ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \/ \ 1,2-dimethylcaterpillar \_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/\_/ Richard Bos and Steve VanDevender, ASR -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
