|
||||
|
||||
A month ago, I wrote [a blog post][kickoff], starting our first month of
|
||||
"What the heck?!" (WTH) ever! An experiment and without any expectations,
|
||||
as we have never had done something like this before. But WTH, why not 😁
|
||||
|
||||
And today, I think we can actually say: All good things come to an end.
|
||||
|
||||
It has been an amazing month! A whopping 746 topics have been created in the
|
||||
[WTH forum][forum], that together collected over 4.500 posts. The contents of
|
||||
all these created topics are amazing! And apparently, you all agreed on that,
|
||||
as a stunning 2.600 likes have been given on all those posts.
|
||||
|
||||
About the content, it is amazing! There was some really good feedback in there.
|
||||
Annoyances made many people think: “Yeah! What the heck?!” and more importantly,
|
||||
developers chimed in as well!
|
||||
|
||||
Developers dived in and started resolving and fixing stuff! At the moment
|
||||
of writing, a whopping 68 pull requests with code changes to address those WTHs
|
||||
have been made. A lot of these are already shipped with the [0.115 birthday
|
||||
release][release].
|
||||
|
||||
## So, what was fixed?
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
This list isn't even complete, but gives a nice idea of what when on. We think
|
||||
it is an impressive accomplishment. If you are a bit into GitHub, you can find
|
||||
[all pull requests made for the month of WTH][prs], as they are all labeled
|
||||
with "WTH".
|
||||
|
||||
## Closing the WTH forum & Hacktoberfest
|
||||
|
||||
As said, all good things come to an end. We are going to close the WTH forum.
|
||||
This means that no new WTH topics can be created, but everything will remain
|
||||
visible.
|
||||
|
||||
Hacktoberfest is right around the corner and all current data in that forum
|
||||
can really help drive it. It is a great resource for developers to find
|
||||
opportunities to contribute on during the October month. So, while we close
|
||||
it down, we hope more will be addressed.
|
||||
|
||||
Why not run this WTH all the time? Well, it looses its power over time. This is
|
||||
already visible right now when comparing the velocity at the beginning and end
|
||||
of the month.
|
||||
|
||||
However, let's see if we can do it again next year. Maybe, we should combine
|
||||
it with Hacktoberfest in 2021?
|
||||
|
||||
How did you experience the month of WTH? Should we do it again?
