TG2 Sprint organization

General information

TurboGears has been holding more and more sprints, over the last few months, and they have been hugely successful in helping new people get up to speed on TG2, and in getting bugs fixed, features added, and generating a lot of good discussion and activity in the community. We're planning to host a TurboGears related sprint about once a month throughout 2008, and we're looking forward to meeting new people and developing some great software.

How the Sprint works:

We'll discuss our work on the TurboGears trunk mailing list, and on the IRC channels #turbogears and #pylons on freenode.

To get started working on the sprint:

1. Go to #turbogears on freenode and let everybody know you're around.
2. Go to the TurboGears Trac instance and get an account (if you haven't got one yet).
3. Check http://trac.turbogears.org/query for Unassigned Tickets you can work on.
4. See http://trac.turbogears.org/timeline for what has been done by whom in the last few days.
5. Pick a ticket and assign it to yourself. If you want to do something that does not have a ticket yet, please add a new ticket for the task.
6. Work away and have fun!
7. If you're working on the docs wiki, get a wiki account, read DocHelp and save often ;)
8. If you're working on code, feel free to attach patches to the tickets in trac (see: Patching Guidelines for details on how to make a patch), and ask for review on #turbogears and we'll merge it into trunk.

Possible Tasks

Everything we're working on in TurboGears2 itself has been moved to the TurboGears 2 tickets in the Trac ticket tracker, so feel free to browse around there, and find a task which interests you. TurboGears 1.1 tickets in Trac should be up-to-date as well, if you want to work on the current version of TG2, you can get your tickets there.

As mentioned above, if you plan to work on a ticket, please assign it to yourself in trac, post a note about what you're doing on that ticket so we know what's happening.

On the day of the sprint you may want to look at the Unassigned Tickets that you could grab. And if you want to see what's been done you might want to look at the timeline for the week.
