To help you get familiar with the systers-mailman development tools and the code, we suggest that you pick one of these bugs and see if you can figure it out.
Here are what we believe are the easiest bugs:
Should be a simple change to a statement that writes to the file, but will test the understanding of how list mailing lists work
Not positive of the fix for this, but I believe that when the email is constructed it's just not picking this up from the right place. This requires understanding of only a local part of the code — you just need to understand how the html pages are presented and how data is collected, and then what happens when someone subscribes.
need to figure out why “footer” is not defined in Decorate.py Info I just added from another bug suggests it is related to a permissions problem, which suggests that is related to how the pipeline works. The fix should be trivial, but it might be challenging to understand the code well enough to find it.
Looking for project skills
Even if you are unable to fix one of these bugs, you should at least attempt to make a code change and upload your modifications. Your code will not automatically be installed in the active code base.
If you feel that some other test would be the most approprate to illustrate the skills you bring to the project, please feel free to contact us and we can discuss this.
