SME v9 Contribs availability
« on: May 19, 2014, 04:24:46 PM »
Please note that at the moment there are only a handful of contribs that have been repackaged to work on v9.

If you use a contrib from v8 you may bork your system so ONLY do so on a test system.

Now that we have RC1 out there will be ongoing work to move existing contribs from v8 to v9 but if you want to see that happen quickly you need to HELP us.

We have VERY few hands on deck and need lots of assistance.

How can you help ?

Fire up a test v9 installation and try to install existing contribs. Report any problems to the bug tracker. Fix anything if you can.

A lot of contribs failures will be down to changed paths for a few core items.

If you want help doing this then please let us know and we will be more than happy to guide you through just post on the lists which you can subscribe to here :

http://lists.contribs.org/mailman/listinfo/

For contribs, this is the place to get started :

http://wiki.contribs.org/SME9.0_Contribs_QA

Includes how to test and report bugs.

So no excuses. Time to roll up the sleeves and get to work !
