About this (sub)forum

Simba tasks is a subforum where everyone can post a (usually simple) thing he'd like to see done for Simba.

This can range from writing specific documentation to adding a small feature; but generally not features that are very complicated to add.

This is slightly different than feature requests in the sense that hopefully these tasks will be easier and can be done by people other than people who already know a lot about Simba.

Harder tasks can be posted here; we can make them require a mentor. So if you want to write say, a settings form for Simba, I could probably help you get started and sort out bugs you run into, but you'll be the main person writing it.

We can tag threads with the following hardness:

  • Trivial (Probably doesn't require a lot of help, even for starters)
  • Quite Easy (Requires some help for the unexperienced)
  • Moderate (Requires help for starters/unexperienced as well as for the experienced)
  • Hard (Required help, most likely)

I suggest that help/questions and development progress on tasks can be posted in their appropriate thread, but you're also free to ask me and others for help in the IRC channel, #simba (or #srl, if you prefer) on irc.freenode.net.

If you're interested in completing such a task, post in the appropriate thread.

Isn't this pretty much the same as Suggestions? Perhaps make this a sub-forum a sub-forum in Suggestions?

The idea is that whatever is posted in this forum usually gets done. So it has to be a bit more than just a random idea; you must have some sort of vision of what you want to see; perhaps an image or just a good description; and you must know it can generally be done. So it's not really a subsection, IMO. We could obviously move suggestions that are viable into this forum.
