Good First Bugs

So, you think Lightning is the next big thing? Or maybe you're tired of waiting around for Sunbird 0.3 to come out? Want to help move things along? I've tried to put together a list of good bugs for people to get their feet wet with.

However, these are just bugs that looked reasonably easy at first glance. They may or may not be that way in reality. If, in investigating one of these bugs, you find it's not that simple, let me know. Alternatively, if you find a bug you think should be on this list, let me know as well.

Note: This is not a comprehensive list. To quote Mike Shaver, "The best "first bug" to work on is one that you want to see fixed." So, if you have a bug you want to work on that isn't on this list, that should never stop you. Take it on.

How to get started

If you've made it this far, you probably already know most of what I'm going to tell you. Read the Developer Guide and How to help pages on the project website. After that, find a bug you like, and either assign it to yourself (if you can) or just post a comment on the bug saying your working on it. This prevents two people from working on the same bug. After that, make your changes, test your patch, and then ask for a review. Happy Hacking!

Bug List

  • Bug 257408 Titles of events shouldn't change to ellipses so soon
  • Bug 270212 Use stringbundles in delete event dialog
  • Bug 256129 Preferences menu icons keep mouseover effect
  • Bug 229708 Editting priority/ completion of multiple tasks at once doesn't work
  • Bug 289439 Double clicking on task checkbox should check/uncheck, not open edit dialog

Unconfirmed Bugs

These bugs seemed reasonable candidates, but haven't been confirmed for one reason or another. If you think they're legitimate and should be fixed, writing a patch is the quickest way to make this happen.

  • Bug 255906 Cross out past events
  • Bug 277958 Very short events are only seen as a line
  • Bug 284791 Multiple email addresses in an event are not possible
