Other ways to help
If our top 5 areas seem a little too much for you to take on then you can help in other areas too, and a little bit of work quickly adds up. Below are some other ideas for helping remove clutter and help clean up the code base.
...
- what how we want to achieve the re-factor and;
- the Current Re-Factor To Do List for a list of the tasks that need doing.
If you see a task that someone has taken on that you would like to work on, contact the person to see how you can help.
If you see a task that is not assigned that you want to start, put your name down and create a JIRA to start the task if one has not already been created.
If you see a task from the list of other things that need doing, that you want to work on, add it to the table of activities, create a JIRA and assign it to yourself.
If you decide to get involved
If after you've taken a look at what we want to do and you are keen to help then please read the section on coding practices. One of the goals of the re-factoring is to improve the quality of the design and code.
The application of modern coding practices and design patterns is the key to achieving these goals.
