[wp-hackers] Fixing Bugs

[Jacob Santos]

Well, the Subversion Repository that I set up at 
<http://svn.dragonu.net/WordPress/UnitTest>. The others are part of this 
list and you can get the information from them. The repository is public 
but requires a username and password for commit access. It isn't pretty, 
but I'm more worried about getting coverage of code and writing complete 
tests of code coverage. I suppose, if you wish to help, you can email me 
and we can discuss that.

There are also several bug tickets that has progress for documenting 
several wp-includes files.
