New volonteer
Andreas Marienborg
I would like to help out, but I'm a bit unsure how to best go about
it. I'm not all that into XS and core stuff, but figured there might
be some things I could to to ease the burden on others?
I saw the MICRO helpers guide said something about documenting
upgraded core modules, and figured that might be a good place to
start? Take a chunk or two, find the upgrade module changes, and make
sure that ends up in the delta? Then clean them out of the chunk file
and move on.
If this sounds like it would help, I'd like to start with 2006-04 if
possible? My github account is 'omega'

To get an idea of what types of things go into the delta, you can read
ones from past releases.

Neither am I, but you don't need too as later it will be checked by the
perl5-porter gang (which were the ones that made those very changes).
Sifting through all the changes and deciding if something is of value is
all you will need to do. For items you are unsure of, you can put it in
the TODO file.

You got it.

It would definitely help, the more the better. It looks like Stephen
Steneker has claimed 2006-04, there are other chunks available, check
Volunteers.txt. 2007-11 was split up into smaller chunks, those might be
a good place to start.
Unfortunately, I can't give out commit bits (limitation of github), but
Paul can and will most likely later today or tomorrow. But, you can send
patches to the list though.
If you need any help (git included) send an email out to the list and
we'll help you out.
Thanks again,
Adam

I have now commited something to the branch. Could someone more
proficient please check that I am moving in the right direction?

Thank-you very much! I can't yet see your commits, so there's a chance
they're not getting pushed back to github. Can you try:
git push origin 2007-11-g
(Assuming your branch is called 2007-11-g). That *should* push your changes
up to github where I can take a look at them.
Failing that, patches always work nicely. If you've committed all your
changes, and you're on the branch where the commits occurred, you can
generate a patchset with:
git format-patch master...HEAD
And then just post the *.patch files to me (via the list).
Thanks again for all your hard work!

I see some changes there from Andreas Marienborg (me), but it might be
pushed to my account or something?

I'll do this when I get home today if all else fails :)

D'oh! I can see them! I was looking for changes made within the last few
hours. ;)
No need to do anything else on your end to get things pushed out. I'm
looking through your changes now.
Cheerio,

I've looked over your changes, and I think they're fantastic! You're
definitely headed in the right direction! ;)
Once you're finished with the split, don't hesitate to let me know, and I'll
merge your changes into the main branch and make the remaining "slimmed"
file available to anyone else who wants to take it. I've had very good
uptake on getting advanced Perl developers to review the slimmed-down files.
Many thanks again for all your hard work!
Paul

Hello, and sorry for the delayed response.
I have gotten struck with a virus that doesn't seem to want to leave,
so I won't
be able to work anymore on this split :/
Sorry for leaving it in such a "in the middle" situation. I think what
I have commited and
pushed is correct, and that whats left in the splitfile is what I have
not moved to the
delta.
sorry again

Gah, that sounds awful. I hope that gets better soon.

No need to apologise at all, I think you're fantastic! I've merged your
changes back into the master branch, and you've been added to the AUTHORS
file of contributors. ;)
Volunteers.txt has been updated to mark the chunk as slimmed and available.
Many, many thanks again,
