Post-push Stats

-- Styles: 47 styles submitted and 27 live. Yay one new style! (And I have another one from TAMM patched and almost ready for review. Progress!)

-- Themes: 608 submitted* and 486 live. OMG. That's 74 new themes in less than a month! What have you guys eaten?!

-- Styles with fewer themes than others are: Boxes and Borders, Modish, Skittlish Dreams, Stepping Stones, Sunday Morning, and Tabula Rasa. The new style also needs lots of themes so I hope it'll inspire you. :)

As usual, people who'd like to learn how to patch themes can raise their hands in a comment because we have new submissions already. Can we aim for well over 500 total live themes for next month? I think we can at this rate...

* not counting the new submissions.

I'd like to try theme patching. I usually use a mac with OS 10.4.11.

Brilliant! The first step's to request a Dreamhack if you don't have one already. Then here's some reading for you: http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/Dreamhack_Getting_Started. If you have any trouble I can guide you through this.

Thanks!

Hi! I just got my Dreamhack account, managed to ssh in, change and create (system) passwords, and start apache. What do I do next?

I've been reading the getting started notes and jumping around to read various links from there but I need focus or I forget what I've read. :)

Thanks again!

I think the next step for you is the Newbie Guide for People Patching Styles! I've put that link in the sidebar links on the community here, so it'll be easy for people to find.

[sam_gardener]

Perfect! thank you.

In addition to what Fey linked you to, this one's important too:

And Sarken wrote a tutorial for Mac users a while ago:

This follows what I wrote here for Windows users.

Thanks! I'll get back to you with questions once I've read though this.

[ninetydegrees]

Ready when you are! :)

[sam_gardener]

Sorry, I keep getting distracted!

At this point I guess I just need to get started. How exactly does that work? I see there are many unclaimed color themes. What is the process, should I just choose one and file it at Bugzilla?

[ninetydegrees]

No apologies needed! Fu's on vacation so things are pretty slow at the moment and there's no hurry.

Everything's filed actually except the latest Compartmentalize themes which I'm going to do right now :) so all you have to do is pick a bug. However, there are a few which depend on other bugs so these are better left unassigned for now. Here are some unassigned ones:

And http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3762!

Thanks! I'm sure I'll be back with questions. :-)
