Padraic Brady’s Blog: A Guide To Zend Framework Bug Hunt Days

November’s Bug Hunt Days are over. More than 100 bugs were fixed. Fixing that many bugs wouldn’t be fixed without excellent guide about participating in Bug Hunt Days written by Padraic Brady.

Many Zend Framework users fail to realise that the Zend team is comprised of about three individuals. Three people cannot address 1600 issues this side of the 22nd Century and it’s totally unfair to complain about the issue count in this light. They need assistance. They need people to fill in for former component lead developers, inactive developers, and developers who are mysteriously missing in action. But mainly they need more eyes and keyboards to clear issues.

Bug Hunt Day’s goal is to help Zend Framework’s team in fixing as many issues as possible during the event. It is great opportunity for those who want to help developing the framework but can not do it on regular basis. Because such people usually don’t know where to start, whom to ask, how to use provided tools or simply commit the code, Padraic’s guide should be first thing to read before participating in Bug Hunt. Check it out and see that participating in Bug Hunt Days is not that hard.
