I linked http://wiki.dlang.org/Pull_Requests and http://wiki.dlang.org/Starting_as_a_Contributor to one another. -- Andrei

Ok, so I will delete my current branch and start from scratch following the recommendations. Maybe it'll be easier for me to keep up to date with phobos and make more PRs. In my case it's just typos and easy stuff like that, but every little helps :)

Hello, I've reviewed the list and found a subset of 30 bugs that I've closed because whatever is my position it was clear that they are fixed now or invalid.

However, I've spotted "bearophile". He has opened a lot of issues just because he wanted this or that in std.range. I think that most of his issues could be closed because he should rather discuss on the NG or even propose an implementation on GH...

So I don't know...and I ask, should the garbages from bearophile be closed ?

Please list links to those here, and thanks for all your work! -- Andrei

Open enhancements should be left alone IMO. Unless it has been decided that there is zero possibility for them being implemented, they are just waiting for someone to do it.

Enhancements also shouldn't count towards any open "bug" count.

Yeah, bearophile is like that, he has a lot of ideas ;)

Some of them have been implemented, after sitting for a long time. So I don't think it's correct to close them. I'm all for closing ones that absolutely won't be implemented though.

Hello, I use D every day, and there are several functions that I'd like in Phobos. I think all/most of them can be of general usefulness. While I am often wrong, those ERs come from plenty of experience coding in D and other languages, so throwing them away *en masse* is unwise. They should be judged singularly.

Bye,
bearophile

This is a loaded question.

Replying to my own message from November 2015... well, right now we have 953 open bugs for Phobos. 500 is next! -- Andrei
