= Reports =

This page presents a list of useful queries into our ticket system. If you're looking to contribute to Django, whether you're a hardcore Python hacker or a complete newbie, below you'll find clear lists of what needs to be done. For people with skills in documentation, we've split out reports that include documentation-only tickets.

= New contributors =

Easy-pickings - how about contributing an easy patch to get started?

* [query:status=!closed&stage=Accepted&easy=1 Tickets marked as "easy"].
* [query:status=!closed&stage=Accepted&component=Documentation&has_patch=0 Documentation tickets needing patches] (often easy)

= Intermediate contributors =

Any experienced member of the community, or any reasonably experienced Python/web developer, is welcome to start work on these, and as a community run project with a small core team, we '''absolutely rely''' on these contributions! Remember to consult our [http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/#ticket-triage ticket triage policy], and also remember you can add more filters to these reports to select the components you have experience with. Thanks!

== Reviewing tickets ==

These new tickets need work to see:

1. if reported bugs are really bugs or
2. if suggested features are sensible features to be added

They may also need to have the component changed and other meta-data set.

* [query:status=!closed&stage=Unreviewed Unreviewed tickets]

== Reviewing patches ==

These tickets have been accepted and have patches, but someone needs to
review the patch for quality, checking docs and tests.

* [query:status=!closed&stage=Accepted&needs_better_patch=0&needs_tests=0&needs_docs=0&has_patch=1 Patches that need review] ([query:status=!closed&stage=Accepted&needs_better_patch=0&needs_tests=0&needs_docs=0&has_patch=1&type=Bug Bugs] | [query:"status=!closed&stage=Accepted&needs_better_patch=0&needs_tests=0&needs_docs=0&has_patch=1&type=New feature" Features ] | [query:"status=!closed&stage=Accepted&needs_better_patch=0&needs_tests=0&needs_docs=0&has_patch=1&type=Cleanup/optimization" Optimizations])
* [query:status=!closed&stage=Accepted&needs_better_patch=0&needs_tests=0&needs_docs=0&has_patch=1&component=Documentation Documentation patches that need review]

When done, either set to 'Ready for checkin' or the relevant flags regarding patch quality, docs and tests.

= Experienced contributors =

Once you're ready to actually start on possibly-difficult problems, these tickets contain requests that have been accepted  but have no patches, or patches that are not up to scratch, or are missing docs or tests.

 * [query:status=!closed&has_patch=0&stage=Accepted&or&status=!closed&needs_better_patch=1&stage=Accepted&or&status=!closed&needs_docs=1&stage=Accepted&or&status=!closed&needs_tests=1&stage=Accepted All tickets that need any implementation work]

Broken down a bit further:

 * [query:status=!closed&stage=Accepted&has_patch=0 Tickets that need patches]
 * [query:status=!closed&stage=Accepted&has_patch=1&needs_better_patch=1 Tickets that have patches but need to be improved]
 * [query:status=!closed&stage=Accepted&needs_docs=1 Tickets that need documentation]
 * [query:status=!closed&stage=Accepted&needs_tests=1 Tickets that need unit tests]
 * [query:status=!closed&stage=Accepted&has_patch=1&needs_tests=0&needs_docs=1&needs_better_patch=0 Tickets that only need documentation]
 * [query:status=!closed&stage=Accepted&has_patch=1&needs_tests=1&needs_docs=0&needs_better_patch=0 Tickets that only need unit tests]
 * [query:status=!closed&stage=Accepted&has_patch=0&component=Documentation Documentation tickets that need patches]

Once a patch is implemented, someone else will need to review it.
