Dreamwidth Volunteers

Code tour, 36 bugs, although you should check against last week's tour to make sure there's no duplication; I think I see some that were already toured last week.

Looking for it by around this time tomorrowish.

The code tour's a bit unwieldy (it's over a month of stuff, ugh; sorry for letting it get backed up!) so behind the cut are individual chunks of code tour needed, formatted for copy/paste and filling in, 4 sections of 15-ish bugs each. If you're interested in grabbing any one of the segments, comment to claim!

Looking for these by Friday night's code push, ideally. Any of 'em that aren't done by Friday afternoon, I'll get myself.

( Sections for claiming )

1) Code tour, 31 bugs, looking for it in a day or two.

2) As everyone and their siblings have noticed, I'm extremely behind on the biweekly (*hollow laugh*) news updates. There are many long, boring personal reasons, but the short of it is it's been a really bad few weeks, blah blah it bores even me.

The thought of trying to pull together said update even now is kind of like a giant albatross -- the things take me at least a full day's worth of work and I just don't have it in me right now -- so I would like to crowdsource (the lion's share of) the update. This will take away the major burden of finding things to put in the update, and also the struggle to word things!

If you've done anything on DW in the past six weeks (anything from the last update of 11 Aug to now), write a quick blurb (2-3 paragraphs) about what it is, how you did it, why you did it, why you think it'll be awesome for DW, etc. Even if you didn't complete it -- like, if you're working on a big major bug, etc -- write it up! Introduce yourself in a sentence or two, say what kind of stuff you do for DW, and then describe your project(s), etc. (For maximum interest, include a brief blurb at the end about how readers might get started doing the project themselves.)

I know people might be hesitant to do this (fearing that what they're working on won't be important enough, etc) but it is; I'm thinking of things like rb and hir starting in on dev work, people like rising and nornoriel about making themes, azurelunatic or someone from the antispeam team on spamwhacking, sophie on Dreamhack maintenance, kareila about Karzilla Smash!, etc. No matter how big or small you think the contribution is, somebody will find it interesting.

I'd really love to have 8-10 of these for the update; it will help me tremendously. (You seriously have no idea. It will be major.) And if there's someone who's done any DW work in the past six weeks and doesn't follow this comm, point them here!

Sections can be commented here, or messaged to my inbox. If you're going to write one, comment and let me know that you're planning on doing it. I'd love to have them by Friday night or so. Thanks so much, guys.
