• NumbuhFour – Mentor communications
• milistisia2 – Technical and Production editor
• mellolikejello – Design lead

Source code repository URL? Github Repo

List your upstream Mentor’s below:

HdKr

Many/any devs on #dolphin-emu @ freenode

How will you communicate with them? (i.e. IRC Channel, Email Addresss, mail lists, issue trackers, etc…)

IRC on #dolphin-emu any time except 1-6am CST (2am to 7am EST)

What are the easy parts?

• Contacting devs (hopefully)
• Accessing history (because github)
• Finding issues/bugs that have arisen

What are the hard parts?

• Filling this out in time!
• Calculating the Callaway Coefficient of Fail for the project
• Discovering the structure and hierarchy of official releases and patches

How will you overcome both?

• Communicating early and often to provide developers with ample time to respond/direct us in the right direction
• Hopefully be able to speak with a dev that has been with the project for a long time that can speak of any large changes to the way the project was managed.
• Use filters to search closed issues on github to find relevant information about bugs and bugfixes.
