[libvirt] Libvirt bite sized tasks

Dear lists, I've just started new wiki page which aim is to summarize small and trivial tasks, that starting contributors can take, investigate and implement. The aim is to give them something easy to start with while not scaring them out about complexity of our code. The page can be found here: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/BiteSizedTasks The name is copied from qemu wiki: http://wiki.qemu.org/BiteSizedTasks Please, feel free to extend the list. I plan to use it in the future when interviewing GSoC candidates. Michal

According to Laine [0], self-registration for the wiki is disabled. What would be the correct avenue of approach for those of us that are willing to contribute but don't have libvirt wiki accounts? Is there work in progress to tie it to FAS or OpenID?

You mean you want to extend the list of task or do you want to work on an item and get your patches merged? The former, I guess, it's question for DV. But I can look into that too. The latter - there's no need register on the wiki. Just work on the patches and probably post URL in the commit message so that we can remove the items from the list. Michal

Oh, I misread the original email. I thought this was for short how-to contributions to the wiki for users, not code contributions. I'm not a developer, but a user and teacher. I'd be willing to write wiki pages, but I don't do code.

Old thread, but I recently added a bunch of ideas to that page which have been kicking around in my todo lists for a while. I encourage other devs to take a peek and keep it in mind for adding similar cleanup type work items in the future; plenty of ideas end up buried in mailing list review discussions, this is one place they can conceivably live. Thanks, Cole
