Hi. My name is Nathan Hammond. I'm new here. I also plan to stick
around. But so that I'm not just taking up space, I figured I should
come up with something to do.
So, that thing is to one by one go through all outstanding tickets in
Trac and see them through to a resolution. Reporter didn't provide a
test case? I'll try and create one. Browser-related problem? If it
isn't a Mac browser, I'll put the browser through its paces. If it is
to be resolved by a change to jQuery, I'll provide a patch. If the
patch is not trivial I will bring it up for discussion here. If the
change is worthy of creating or modifying a test, I'll do it. If it
necessitates a change in the documentation, I'll make that change. And
then I'll move on to the next one. My goal is to have only a small set
of outstanding tickets, of which all are actively being worked on.
All of my patches will be targeted at the head revision and will not
be intended for porting back to old versions. At the beginning I'll be
choosing the easy ones or ones that interest me. As I become more
familiar with the library in its entirety I'll tackle more difficult
items.
I look forward to the challenge, and put my name on it so you can hold
me to it.
