VWR-1434 - Null pointer crash when terraforming - patch by Gigs Taggart
obvioius, two-liner (NB)

SVC-371 - Patch for llOwnerSay (color and grammer) - patch by Thraxis Epsilon
hot by votes (40+ at the moment). I see this one as legit and good. The default color from the previous patch does suck (almost unreadable) and going back to ": " instead of "say " is also helpful, because some objects use this in forms like "User: activates this or that". I think the "say " was a coding error anyway (fell into a default case). Will include it in my viewer. (NB)

VWR-1406 - Unchecking "Go Away/AFK when idle" has no effect in 1.17.2.0 - patch by Henri Beauchamp
10 votes. The patch reverts llagent.cpp back to 1.17.0. Simple 3-liner to make the debug entry prevent the 30-min logout. I support it (it may be something which someone did intentionally, which personally I don't like, because people will find other and more sim hogging ways to stay online).

Hot by Vote

VWR-1225 - Embedded notecards not functioning - patch by Gigs Taggart
Hot by votes (over 100). I'm not sure about the implications of the patch, but since it's from Gigs, I'm sure it's good enough (I'll include it in my viewer) (NB)
Eh, the patch is safe to use/merge, but it's kinda a workaround and doesn't completely address the issue. Gigs Taggart 17:01, 30 June 2007 (PDT)

Patches

VWR-1420 - IM in chat history is rendered nearly unreadbale now in 1.17.2.0 - color not changeable - patch by Thraxis Epsilon
Have not checked it in depth yet, but will most likely include it in my viewer (more tests tomorrow) (NB)

VWR-1420 - Viewer crash after taking several hi-res snapshots - patch by EponymousDylan Ra
patch looks straightforward to me and looks like it fits the error he describes. Patch itself may need some tweak for indentation (see my comment there) (NB)

Misc Pool

Community members generally collaborate on the agenda for bug triage meetings. Here's how you can quickly fill in an otherwise blank agenda:

Setting up

Go to Bug_Triage/YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY is the four digit year code, MM is the two digit month code, and DD is the day code
Write and save {{subst:Triage Template}} as the only content of your new page. This will copy the complete markup from Template:Triage Template as a starting point for your agenda.
Fill in the relevant time, date, and location info for the upcoming meeting. The easiest way to do this is to copy the entire block of information from an earlier meeting of the same type (RC, regular, etc...) and modify the date and time as needed.

Populating the issue listings section(s)

Look at the results of one of these queries
- General triage: "Viewer 2 Bug Triage" (sorted by LL ID, Created, Last Triaged):
  - https://jira.secondlife.com/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=12724
- UI triage:
  - https://jira.secondlife.com/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&requestId=10470 (The selected filter with id '10470' does not exist.)
(Note: there's no hard and fast rule that says these are the only valid queries. If you feel there's a better query one particular week, use that.)
Save a copy of the XML version of the query
Run this perl script on the xml file

<perl>

!/usr/bin/env perl

use XML::Simple;

my $bugs = XMLin($ARGV[0]);

foreach my $item (@{$bugs->{channel}->{item}}) {

 $title = $item->{title};
 $title =~ s/^\^\*\] //;
 $key = $item->{key}->{content};
 $votes = $item->{votes};
 $reporter = $item->{reporter}->{username};
 print "* $key - Votes: $votes - $title - $reporter\n";

}

</perl>

Pick a reasonable cutoff point, and copy the output into the appropriate section of your newly created page.

if you do not have access to a perl interpreter. There is a ported version of the script on PHP, located here: http://jirafiller.technokittydevelopment.com/ made by roberto salubrius
