Week 1: The Beginning
So its Day two of week one!
What have I done this week?
Well I finished off the end of the Michael Jackson show I mentioned last week, in total we have raised £4000 for charity!
Did some lighting for a Chiddy Bang gig.
And yesterday, since I’m starting to get clear of the end of uni now, I started setting up my local development environment.
So I’ve got my SVN access sorted for storing my Code on wordpress.org, details on that when there is something worth looking at, and grabbed a copy of WordPress 3, since Bugtracking requires different post types the inclusion of this in WordPress 3, means we don’t have to reinvent the wheel, as my mentor (Thorsten Ott) has put it.
So the remainder of this week, involves poking around WordPress 3, some preliminary coding, more packing up my student radio desk and my girlfriends houseparty, the day after she goes home for the some.
Tho tonight holds me playing Red Dead Redemption, on the 360, since that arrived in the post.
Right back to poking 
See you in a week!

Hi, Barry,
I just started working on essentially the same project about a week ago. At the time, I didn’t realize anyone else had the same idea, and I couldn’t find any existing WP plugins for bug tracking, so I set off to make my own. You can see the initial version at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buggypress/. It’s not feature-complete, but it is, at least, minimally usable.
Are you interested in working together on this? I’d be happy to share ideas and code.
Have a nice day,
Jonathan

Hi Jonathan. Unfortunately, GSoC students are not allowed to work with others on their projects, as they are graded and paid based on individual work. Discussion and feedback on their own work is the main collaboration path.

This is going to be more than just a plugin, we’re going for a fully featured and working BugPress (came up with that before I saw your reply)
But like Jane said its a solo project
But feedback would be appreciated.
Update: Forgot to mention that this is to replace Trac that wordpress currently uses…
