no office hours (Aug 5-11, 2016)

[karzilla]

Two weeks in a row of no signups, so I'm going to switch things up.

What would YOU like ME to look into this coming week?

(Other than reviewing pull requests. I know I'm behind on those.)

Ummm, lots of things! What sorts of projects are you interested in working on, or failing that, what skills are you looking to exercise?

I'm learning a lot about Perl and would like to learn more about JavaScript, but I'm unsure where to start in the DW project. There seems to be so much going on.

I think most of the lower effort open issues involve modifying Perl code, JS code, or both. Let me know if there are any that you have your eye on but aren't sure how to get started.

Also, have you looked at Template Toolkit yet? There are several legacy pages that still need converting away from BML. TT isn't very complex, and the online documentation is quite good. The conversion process is fairly well documented on the DW wiki.

I haven't looked at Template Toolkit yet, but this sounds promising. I'm in the middle of another project right now and transitioning to school, but I will put this on my to-do and look into it next week.
