     3Given that so many other people are contributing to Django, at the same time, during sprints. What should ''you'' work on? This document attempts to help you answer that question.

     5== Next upcoming sprint ==
     6The next sprint will be the !EuroPython 2008 sprint. This sprint will focus on newforms-admin, read the [http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/SprintEuroPython2008/ page dedicated to this specific sprint] for further details.

     8== How to prepare for a sprint ==
    109
    1110 * Join the [irc://irc.freenode.net/django-sprint #django-sprint IRC Channel].
     
    1312 * [http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/install/#installing-the-development-version Install the "trunk" version of Django] (aka the Django development version).
    1413 * [http://www.djangoproject.com/accounts/register/ Create an account in our ticket system]. This will allow you to claim tickets you're working on.
     14 * Read the page dedicated to [http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/SprintIdeas#Nextupcomingsprint this specific sprint].

    7373== Areas requiring caution ==
    7474
    75 There are a few areas in Django that are undergoing some fairly major change. Have care if you are wanting to work in the following areas.

    7777=== Admin interface ===
    7878
    79 Joseph Kocherhans is leading the charge to finish the NewformsAdminBranch, which will replace the existing admin code as soon as possible.
     79Joseph Kocherhans is leading the charge to finish the NewformsAdminBranch, which will replace the existing admin code. This branch will be merged into trunk within a couple of weeks (probably a week before the [http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/SprintEuroPython2008 EuroPython2008 sprint]).
    8080
    8181Consequently, any tickets against the existing admin code that are not real showstoppers and having small impact are unlikely to be applied. We would rather develop the same patch against newforms-admin and fix the problem permanently over there.
     
    8383By all means, pick some admin tickets to work on. However, read the ticket and try to repeat the problem on newforms-admin. Then write a patch against that branch, rather than trunk.
    8484
    85 === Database query construction ===
    86 
    87 There are a lot of tickets concerning bad SQL constructs from the ORM. Malcolm Tredinnick is working in the QuerysetRefactorBranch to fix a lot of these. Right now, that branch is not in a usable state for any serious code; large pieces remain to be ported.
    88 
    89 Any tickets having to do with SQL constructs will generally be fixed in that branch and merged into trunk. Malcolm has been putting the ''qs-rf'' keyword on tickets that are of this nature. The ''qs-rf-fixed'' keyword is being used for tickets that are fixed on that branch (eventually, all ''qs-rf'' tickets will move to ''qs-rf-fixed'').
    90 
    91 If you come across a ticket that looks like a !QuerySet problem and has to do with SQL construction, add that keyword.
    92 
    9385== Suggestions ==

    9688
