Abstract

Find a bug, add a unit test, see unit test failing, fix the bug, see unit test succeeding, close the issue.

Note: difficulty depends on the bug you want to fix - we have tasks for all difficulty levels and you need to claim the right task. if you are unsure about the difficulty level of the issue you want to fix, talk to the moin developers, they can help you with classification before you claim.

Details

For moin 2 see the issue tracker on bitbucket.

For moin 1.9 see the bugs on the wiki.

How to do it:

• find something you could fix
• talk about it with the moin developers (some bug reports might be bogus or will be fixed by moin2) to estimate its difficulty
• research whether it happens with current moin (only these bugs qualify, if it doesn't happen any more, make sure bug report is/gets closed!)
• claim a bug fix task of this difficulty level, precisely refer to the issue you want to fix
• determine the problem
• if you can write a unit test for the issue, do that and see the unit test failing.
• fix the issue, see the unit test succeeding.
• close the issue, submit your patch or changeset.

Deliverable: patch or changeset, updated/closed issue or wiki page
