As we’re trying to get Bugmash Mondays up and running again, it would be excellent to have a place where developers can suggest bugs suitable for inclusion each week. This seems as good a place as any.
Ideally, we’ll give eight bugs to the community each week (that was the stated goal when Bugmash Mondays were started) - some quick fixes and some suitable for newcomers, others can be a bit more complex. If we can’t find eight suitable, I’ll post whatever we have.
I’ll bump this thread each Saturday, and then if bugs can be suggested here over Saturday and Sunday, I’ll post from the Diaspora HQ account on the Monday.
Hope this isn’t an inappropriate place for this thread - it seems the best place.

I see Stefan did a great job fixing a few of the bugs from last week. Ones which seem to be left over are:
Private message fails if contact not entered correctly - https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora/issues/4210 - not sure, there is pull request for it but the issue remains open - is this still to be fixed?
It’s more a case of ‘are these three remaining bugs suitable for bagmash Monday?’ - I had to just pick a few last week, a bit of a guess, and include the ones that no one said ‘definitely not that one!’, so I thought it as well to check now.
I’m posting here so I can properly include @jonnehass and @florianstaudacher , among others, in the discussion.
@flaburgan I have done, but the problem is I do not have the technical knowledge to know if it is suitable for inclusion - and some of them look as though they have been put on hold for one reason or another (going on the discussion), so it would really help me to have suggestions from people who actually know the state of the code.
#4143 is a lot of work, while it can be done by a newcomer it’s probably nothing we should invite people to do as that could give a negative experience.
Thanks, @steffenvanbergerem - I didn’t include that as I wasn’t sure whether the commits from Movilla on that thread had solved the issue. If it’s still live, I’ll include it.
Thanks. I’ll leave it off in that case, just to be on the safe side. We’ve got seven bugs now, and I’ll say ‘if you want to tackle another bug, post on the thread for that bug first to discuss it with the devs’.
Oh, thanks, Fla. That was cut and pasted from last week, before Sean had transferred the wiki. Sorted now (and it produces a valid page when I click on it, or your link below to the old domain also works for me).
Thanks everyone for your input this week. Hope you get some useful contributions from this, and possibly one or two new developers. Until next weekend!
