Have a bugathon where we label a lot of bugs as appropriate bugathon bugs that need either: a) test patch / update patch to recent svn version a) confirmation / replication of new / unconfirmed bugs
We can provide a simple ready to go Wiki installation for people to use for bug triaging and that way we can re-energize developers and clean up some of the backlog of bugs.
Is this something that we should be doing?
This is something we do at hack-a-tons. I don't remember the number of bugs smashed at the last one, but it was a decent number.
I believe the next hack-a-ton is in Berlin, soon. I'm not sure if they have this planned. It's apparently GLAM focused (which excludes devs like me), so I'd imagine not, unless the bugs targeted are GLAM related.

I'm curious: is there a way that non-technical people can help with sprints like this? Documentation-building, maybe? Something else? I'm interested in development sprints, bugathons etc that involve both technical & non-technical people; I've been involved in a few and it's pretty fun. But I don't know how many useful ways non-programmers & non-developers can help.
