The SproutCore development effort is in a large part based on a proposal system, where proposals are added as Github issues so that interested parties can comment on and counter-propose all directional changes whether large or small. In order to facilitate the next step, which is to get volunteers to tackle the proposals that have achieved enough support, we've created this living document to track community work orders.

Open work orders are listed below. Please consider volunteering to work on a proposal and indicate your efforts so that the work isn't duplicated. Ideally, we would like to see volunteers self-organize into dedicated work teams as necessary so that the work orders don't stall if one volunteer has other commitments to attend to.

To keep this page readable, the open Work Logs are tracked here.

The required work includes submitting fixes to ensure that all unit tests pass in master. This should be done in order to release version 1.7 final. Please attach your name(s) to a framework's unit tests if you are going to work on fixing them. The unit tests are accessible at these URLs:

All unit tests pass.
