Need someone to lead Fix of the Day contest [WAS] Re: [Pharo-project] Need help with 1.3 Full Image

I try to solve some issue in the issues tracker from time to time, but
it's often difficult
when outside your expertise. So doing it with others might definitively help.

Fix of the day contest has the advantage of being compatible with every people timezone / agenda.

We can also synchronize CODTC and FOTDC in order to comment classes related to the fix.

Now we just need someone to lead the FOTDC. I already do COTDC so is there a good soul ?

well, I've started by renaming the thread and attaching Pharo-users.

Laurent, maybe you should clarify what "lead"  exactly means.

Everyday:

- choose an issue for the contest

- write it to the mailing list

- push to ask help 

- contest is done when a slice is put in inbox

Indeed, much like COTDC is.

Laurent.

That would be awesome! I was looking at the bug tracker (http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list#) yesterday to see if there were things that I could help with...but even when looking at "open" issues, many of them are several years old, and have a state of "Accepted." So as someone not actively involved in pharo development, I have absolutely no clue what actually needs to be fixed.

I'd like to help, the bug tracker doesn't give me much guidance (or at least I'd benefit from an explanation of how it's structured), and so guidance from someone who's active would be really helpful.

You can also check those tagged as milestone 1.3 which means that they "should" be more or less new.

So what's the deal with these 261 Accepted tickets? Have they been fixed and committed to Pharo? or have they simply been acknowledged as a problem?

When viewing open tickets, here are the statuses I see:
* Accepted
* Comment
* FixProposed
* FixedWaitingToBePharoed
* New
* Started

I don't really know how to interpret all of them.

Anyway, I guess I'll just go down the list for stuff that looks interesting, and ask what needs to be done.
