issue tracker

Last week, Lukas and me went to Italy to join the CMF Camp.

Thanks a lot Ideato for hosting and organizing the event!

Apart from meeting friendly people from Italy and Germany, eating lots of pizza and other great italian food, we discussed the Symfony content management framework and did a lot of coding on the second day.

I try to give a summmary of what we have as of now and of the planned work needed for a first release, so that you can see what you could do to bring the project further.

Xdebug on github

London, UK Wednesday, June 22nd 2011, 21:47 BST

I've just opened my Xdebug repository on github.

Importing my old SVN repository was a bit of a task.

Recently I mentioned the github API and retrieving issues from it.

This is because the joind.in project agreed to move its issue tracking from github to JIRA, since the issue tracker on github is far from feature complete.

I migrated only our open issues, and comments (and the comments ended up a bit weirdly formatted on the other end but this was the best they could do).

As is mentioned on the php|architect blog today (from Bill Karwin) the requirements gathering stage for the Zend_Db 2.0 version of the database component for the Zend Framework has started.

Ralph Schindler has issued a document talking about some of the issues that have come up in the component's past.

A week ago , Zend Framework held its monthly bug hunt days. During our monthly bug hunts, we try to get contributors to focus on closing out issues in the issue tracker , in order to improve the overall quality of the project.

Each month, we offer the contributor who assists in closing the most issues an official Zend Framework t-shirt.

This month, php|architect also sponsored 1-year subscriptions to the top 3 contributors, upping the incentive for contributions.

If you haven't gotten a chance to participate in one of the Zend Framework Bug Hunt Days, you can get up and running pretty easily with this guide from Padraic Brady that introduces you to the concept and includes a few helpful hints to keep in mind when you participate.
