T&H Action Items by IC

[will-corcoran]

👋 Hi All -

At the conclusion of Working Group calls I will update your discussion item below (organized by IC) with any action items brought up in the call. This will be the catch-all for these items until they can make their way to the Project Board.

Any time you are tagged here - if possible - please reply and link me to the related Issue / PR so I can educate myself further and get it added to the board.

Thanks!

Suggestions for Code Quality Survey

• How likely are you to recommend contributing to the stacks-blockchain to another developer?
• If you have been interested in contributing to the stacks-blockchain but were unable to or dissuaded from doing so, what did you want to contribute, how much progress did you make, and what prevented you from contributing?
• In the past two weeks, how often has your progress on a task been delayed by a surprising issue in the stacks-blockchain codebase?
• What is one task or process while interacting with the blockchain that you found more frustrating than you expected? Try to be as specific as possible.
• If you could change one thing about the implementation of the stacks-blockchain or its repository, what would it be?

Starter Tasks for Testing and Hardening

• Property testing for PoX-2 and PoX-3 using clarinet built with pox locking support (see discussion Automated testing for the stacks-blockchain #3732 and the PR for clarinet with locking support Draft: Supporting PoX locks in Clarinet hirosystems/clarinet#1074)
• Sufficient automatic epoch-gated testing that the trait bug necessitating Stacks 2.3 would have been caught (as discussed in Automated testing for the stacks-blockchain #3732)

[CAGS295]

I can start asap. My timezone is UTC-6.

[moodmosaic]

Thank you for the opportunity. I am available to start work on the project immediately, with the exception of the upcoming week due to prior commitments.

I would also like to note that I am based in Europe, operating primarily in the Central European Time (CET) zone. Please consider this when scheduling any meetings. Despite any potential time difference, I remain flexible and am willing to make necessary adjustments to accommodate the project's needs.
