Core bug-fixing advice & a roadblock

[Matt Chapman-10]

Hi all,

I've got a new project with a flexible timeline and I've got approval to develop on Drupal 7, and launch on a beta release, if necessary.

So, I'm basically being paid to spend as much time as I want fixing bugs in D7. This is pretty exciting for me; something I've wanted for a while. If any one has advice on how to maximize this window of opportunity, let me know.

So I've spent the last 2 days finding and fixing some low hanging fruit. ( http://drupal.org/project/issues/user/143172?text=&projects=Drupal&status=8&priorities=All&categories=All )

I've also been studying the Field API, and I've run into a bug with field_access() that has me stumped.

http://drupal.org/node/619230

Can someone with Field API expertise take a look and give me a little more guidance on how to make some progress here?

Thanks,

Matt

Care to mention the sponsor of this? It's always great to hear about  
companies (especially those who aren't development shops) who are  
directly helping with core development.
