## Bug Day for Translate Toolkit and Pootle 0.9

Note that in this exercise, anybody who uses the toolkit or Pootle is welcome, not just coders - there is lots that you can do to help!

### Plans

- The bug day is Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th of March 2006 (extended)
- We will pretend to be time zone agnostic, so some people’s days won’t overlap...
- Any bug gathering before the day will also be useful as it means the coder types can start work straight away.
- the code to use is in CVS under the `translate-toolkit-0-8-branch` branch. It would help if people have access to CVS so they can quickly test fixes, but if that’s too difficult we can try release snapshots as the day progresses.
- We will all gather in the #pootle IRC channel on irc.freenode.net
- It would be great to provide cakes, but they’re hard to transport across the net, so you will have to get your own I’m afraid
- Bugs should be filed at bugs.wordforge.org under “Translate Toolkit” or “Pootle” respectively.
- It would be helpful if people could install the test framework: follow the testing instructions

#### Procedure

- a bug is filed
- if possible, a unit test is coded to reproduce what is causing that bug at the lower level
- if it is determined that this should be fixed for 0.9, a milestone will be set
- developers will feverishly try to fix all bugs set for 0.9, with tests
- IRC will be useful for communicating during all of this.
- There’s a bugdaytest script in src/tools/ which will cvs up, run tests, and upload them to http://translate.sourceforge.net/bugdays/20060323/ - summaries in the summary log

#### Participants

- David Fraser
- Dwayne Bailey
- Friedel Wolff
- Oscar Manuel Gómez Senovilla
