====== Bug Triage Day January 17th-18th 2009 ======
===== Welcome =====

If you are a user of PEAR and have wanted to contribute to an open source project, here's a great opportunity.

We run a bug day every 3 weeks or so, on irc.efnet.org #pear & #pear-bugs across two days.

We basically try to improve the quality of incoming bugs - write test cases, make sure they are reproducible.We also try to boost overall code quality - unit tests, documentation and other improvements.

If you've got a package you use commonly, or bugs you filed some time ago that haven't been fixed; this is a good time to get involved.

Join us on January 17th-18th 2009; or pop into irc.efnet.org #pear to say hello and ask questions.

===== Overall Goals =====
  - Increase the unit test coverage for new issues, while decreasing the amount of failures.
  - Focus on resolving last bug triage's items (detailed below)
  - [[pear:packages:migration]] of packages to package 2.0

===== What are we doing =====
  * Triage the [[http://pear.php.net/bugs/search.php?search_for=&boolean=0&limit=50&order_by=id&direction=DESC&cmd=display&status=Open&bug_type=All&php_os=&packagever=&phpver=&assign=&maintain=&author_email=&bug_age=0&bug_updated=0|latest 50 bugs]]
    * Write tests, seek feedback, improve the overall quality of reports.
    * See if we can knock off [[http://pear.php.net/bugs/search.php?search_for=parse&boolean=0&limit=30&order_by=id&direction=DESC&cmd=display&status=Open&bug_type=Bug&php_os=&packagever=&phpver=&assign=&maintain=&author_email=&bug_age=0&bug_updated=0|parse error related bugs]] :)
  * Unit tests
    * Basically; look at [[http://www.lauken.com/doconnor/|test results]] and knock off low hanging fruit
       * [[http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=14980|Bug #14980 Unit tests fail & are slow (network)]]
       * [[http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=14884|DB include path snafu]]
       * Crypt_GPG - <del>why do you dislike us :(</del> - gauthierm fixed broken unit tests
       * [[http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=14969|Bug #14969 Property groups not supported]]
       * <del>Validate_BE unit tests fail</del> - doconnor
       * [[ http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=15451|Mock out Services_Amazon_SQS]] - gauthierm is making progress
    * Try to get fixes committed so that the [[http://www.lauken.com/doconnor/customised.diff|difference]] between CVS HEAD and the CI machine is less
    * Followup on [[http://pear.php.net/bugs/search.php?cmd=display&search_for=PHPUnit&php_os=&boolean=0&bug_type=&bug_age=0&bug_updated=0&order_by=ts1&direction=DESC&packagever=&phpver=&limit=30&handle=&assign=&maintain=&showmenu=1&showmenu=1&status=Open PHPUnit patches|Updating unit tests to PHPUnit3]]
    * <del>Make sure that AllTests.php does not create any output, otherwise some tests for HTTP_Session will always fail (see [[http://www.lauken.com/doconnor/results.txt|test results]])</del> HTTP_Session now skips if it can't control the test environment - doconnor
