Thanks, Paul!

I made some minor changes on top, too:
http://gitorious.org/openhatch/oh-mainline/commit/420463fd473665101f7e2e9b31e5e8fd7c37cb03

Marking resolved (and in for 0.11.05).

This patch should now pass tests, because paulproteus fixed the issue with the
username not parsing.

I have reset the git commit that I made back to the previous commit before I made any changes, 
and the tests are still failing...
So I'm assuming that the recent commit that paulproteus made has created those errors.
https://gitorious.org/openhatch/oh-mainline/commit/c8e572485eaab4532232c264848d8350c84cfe8a

Maybe I'm totally on the wrong track though, idk.

I have noticed that, abruptly, on my laptop, some of the tests that use the
email-maintainers functionality don't pass. Can you apply your patch and run the
test suite? Just do:

./bin/sqlite_mysite test profile.Notifications

I'm not sure if the failing tests are due to your changes, but I don't want to
push this patch until the relevant tests all do pass.

New patch - unfortunately I had problems running any type of email test.

1. My local server didn't send anything.
2. My linode server didn't send anything. If you want a stack trace let me know.

Did you try sending this mail? I think it causes an exception in the markdown
library.

DTs have to be within DLs, not ULs

And you can't have a "P" within a "UL" either

Also, English style problems: "We hope you'll find them useful" -- what is
"them"? Maybe it refers to "a blueprint", but that is singular, not plural.

You're on the right track, though.

I figured it out, hopefully the blurp makes sense.

Picking this up - Asheesh, can you give me output from an email being sent from this template?
That should help me fix this quickly.

Gonna try to do it before the end of this milestone (11.05).

It'd be nice to see this done!

The HTML template that controls this lives at
http://gitorious.org/openhatch/oh-mainline/blobs/master/mysite/base/templates/weekly_email_re_projects.html

To solve this, you would need to:

* Read the template carefully

* Find a good place to add a link to
http://openhatch.org/wiki/Contacting_new_contributors in it

* Modify the template

* Submit a patch, as per http://openhatch.org/wiki/How_we_handle_patches

Skills required: English text writing, patch submission (which you can learn)

This is a follow-up to https://openhatch.org/bugs/issue297, which created the best practices 
documentation. The documentation is at http://openhatch.org/wiki/Contacting_new_contributors.

2 ways to do this: 1) add a link to our weekly maintainer e-mails, 2) add a link to the not-yet-
extant maintainer updates section of your OpenHatch homepage, where you'll be managing your 
iwannahelp contacts.
