Revision as of 15:15, 7 December 2008

Camino needs a list of “good first bugs” and bugs/areas of improvement that are suitable for a focused, longer-term project, e.g., Google's Summer of Code, so that interested new contributors without any pet peeves can be pointed towards a concrete list.

For the latter set, we should also include Gecko-Mac platform bugs.

References: Sam's Roadmap, Camino Vote List (bugs with 5 or more votes), bugs marked helpwanted in Camino or relevant Core components

Good First Bugs

Camino and Gecko-Mac Projects

Some of these projects were listed on the MozillaWiki 2006 Summer of Code, 2007 Summer of Code, or 2008 Summer of Code pages.

Camino

Bugs listed need to be audited for suitability for a summer-sized project and for "interest" before listing on the SoC page; items in boldface have been given suitability blessings by a senior Camino developer.

  • User script support; Bug 329309 (at least partial support)
  • Unit Testing; Bug 417879 (just the tip of the iceberg)
  • AppleScript support for reading page contents/page source (will require lots of digging into Gecko); Bug 374648, Bug 394582
  • Fix issues with XUL in the content area in Camino (make XUL webapps completely functional; at least menus, selects, and context menus don't work right now); bug 306252, bug 306613

Gecko-Mac

  • Revive/finish the Cocoa-Gecko accessibility work (see below for the original work).

Other Camino bugs

Historical Examples

Below are historical examples of things we've thought would make good projects.

Small Projects

Larger/Summer Projects

  • Support a11y in the content area (bridge Apple's accessibility APIs to the Mozilla accessibility APIs); bug 157209
    a little birdie tells us this should be happening RSN it's public now; hwaara is working on this :)
