Hi,
Sometimes it happens that a description of a fix is added to the issue tracker entry.
We try to tag them with “Fix Proposed"
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/labels/Fix%20proposed https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/labels/Fix%20proposed
In practice, it is either astonishingly hard to turn a description into a fix, or it is so trivial that
it feels as if nothing has to be done. (It feels sometimes that finding the solution is the
real contribution, while actually doing it feels like boring work).
add, if possible, the code of the whole changed method, too
(I often wonder if it is all correct after doing the steps described by a textual description,
especially if the method got changed in between)
Make it really clear in the issue tracker entry that a fix has been proposed.
Sometimes it gets lost in the discussion.
Doing a PR from an issue that already has a description is very valuable
This can a nice way to contribute for beginners.
“It don’t understand if it is good, but I made a PR for the solution described in the issue"
