With lots of help from this wonderful guide by Owen, I’ve submitted my very first bug fix to the WordPress Trac. I just thought I’d share this with you since I’m so proud of myself.

Hi and welcome to my blog. My name's Alex, although I'm more commonly known as Viper007Bond (or just Viper). I work for Automattic and I blog here about WordPress stuff and various interesting things I find. You can read more about me on my about page.

I know the feeling – but you did this some time ago, so maybe you can help me then..
It seems that Owen’s guide is gone. I did my first bugfix last week and is equally proud, but I am kind of lost when it omes to the correct Trac procedure. Tried to read about the process at the WordPress codex, and did the following:
1. Reported the bug
2. Assigned it to myself
3. Made a diff file with the fix I had
4. Attached it and marked the ticket closed
That was obviously a mistake, because somebody reopened the ticket again and told me I should not do like that.
Now, it has been almost a week and I can see no changes to the ticket – is that normal, or is there something I should do to make sure somebody will notice it and have a look at the code and eventually include it in the trunk?
The ticket is here: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/9153
Kind regards
