This past week, we've successfully pushed the preliminary version of
1.17 out to the Wikimedia servers. As anyone familiar with large
software deployments could tell you, this uncovered some more bugs
that we hadn't yet caught.
We've spent the time taking bug reports and triaging them, figuring
out what we need to fix, how important the bug is, etc.
In the hope that someone is looking for a weekend programming project,
I'm posting the list of bugs here, sorted by importance and impact.
If you want to fix something that has a lot of impact, it is probably
best to start at the top. If you're looking for an easy weekend of
hacking, you're probably better off starting close to the bottom.
In any case, we would like to get these bugs need to be fixed before
we begin putting a 1.17 tarball together. That's an important
milestone for me personally since I want to start working on the 1.18
release sooner rather than later.
If you do decide to start working on one of these, please respond
on-list so that we'll have an idea of how much interest there is in
this sprint to a release 1.17.
I'm also not done setting priorities, and would love some help with
that. (For the purpose of this sprint, ignore the priority settings I
talked about in my earlier email.)
If you are pretty sure the priority is wrong, and it doesn't look
like anyone else has touched the priority, then be bold and set it (I
reserve the right to reset it). If there is something where I've set
the priority, but you don't agree, then reply on list or, for faster
response, ping me (hexmode) on IRC.
I don't want to encourage edit wars, but I'd like to make sure that the
list has a reasonably accurate ordering, so that we don't let really
critical problems in this release linger longer than they need to.
