Actionable tasks of the week - volunteers?

[Jacopo Cappellato-4]

In order to encourage the participation of the community into the development of OFBiz and specifically in the resolution of tickets filed in Jira, I would like to try this experiment.

From time to time I will review a series of tickets, select the ones that look not too complex, actionable but still need some work, I will do a preliminary research and study and will provide some directions/hints for a resolution; then I will send an email (this email) with the list of tickets, looking for volunteers to try to fix them.
If you want to give it a try, just assign the ticket to yourself and start playing with it. I will then take care of reviewing the work and committing it to the official repository (of course recognizing merit to the author in the commit log).

If the experiment will work other committers may want to do the same in order to process more tickets from our backlog.

Here is the first batch of tasks that I have reviewed:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5589 (see my analysis in the comment, create a patch with the suggested enhancements)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5590 (try to get some more info from the reporter and then probably resolve as "not a problem")
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5551 (get more information from the reporter - see my questions - and try to recreate the issue gathering more details)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5543 (see my comments: the bug has been reported in 11.04; it works in the trunk; try to recreate in 11.04 and then identify the oldest branch where it works and try to backport the fix)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5559 (the patch available should be good for the trunk but it would be great to have a deeper review before its committed)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5555 (recreate the error, review and test the patch, convert it from git to svn patch)
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5553 (review and test the patch that converts an ftl into widgets; is the new version functionally equivalent? is the code well formatted and written?)

Thanks in advance,

Jacopo

I'd like to take up the first two issues to begin with. Unfortunately I am
little confused with the documentation you shared earlier as to how I can
become a committer.

Would a patch work in this case? Or I need to be on the committers list?

Let me know.

Thanks,
Mandeep

Jacopo,

I will take on OFBIZ-5559 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5559>
.

Good initiative to engage the community more!

Thank you, Mr. Cappellato, for this initiative.  It's a great idea IMO,
please keep 'em coming.

I will watch for more emails such as this one, hoping to find something
that isn't too challenging for my meagre skill set.  Already, though,
this first email has inspired me to make time over the weekend to peruse
the JIRA tickets, to see if there is some "Mickey Mouse" thing I could
do to help.  If I find anything, I'll come back to this ml to ask about
getting initiated as an authorized project contributor.

I really think this is a great idea, Jacopo. I have limited time to code this week, but perhaps i can be of help clarifying the issues as in OFBIZ-5590 & OFBIZ-5551.

Either way: great initiative!

Thanks Nicolas,

I have added a comment to OFBIZ-5555.

To all,

today I have reviewed and cleaned up some old Jira tickets; in the process I have found some more tickets that may represent actionable items for volunteers willing to help:

OFBIZ-5185: recreate the use case; test patch; review and improve patch (there are tabs in it; the "optional" attribute is not specified)
OFBIZ-5166: recreate the use case; either provide a patch or resolve as "invalid/won't fix/not a problem"
OFBIZ-5203: recreate the use case; test the patch and confirm it works
OFBIZ-5012: review and test the patch
OFBIZ-5016: review and test the latest patch
OFBIZ-5004: review and test the patch
OFBIZ-4981: recreate the use case, review and test the patch
OFBIZ-5006: review and test the patch

Thanks,

Jacopo
