Re: [Wikitech-l] Bughunt!

At this moment the bug tracker lists 214 open bugs out of 1098 total reports; that's an average of about one bug report closed per day since we started using it in mid-2002. A lot of the remaining bug reports are duplicates, or refer to problems that have since been fixed. A handful are really feature requests. A bunch more are relatively minor problems that just haven't been gotten to... I'd like to see us cut the open bug reports *in half* to 107 over the next week. It may sound like a lot (three months' worth of closings!) but I'm confident we can do it; in just the last day JeLuF and I have cleared out about 15 bug reports. If we can keep up that rate, we'll make the goal easily. To encourage people to pay more attention to the nasty bugses, I've set up a quickie bot that reports updates to bug tracker into the #mediawiki IRC channel. -- brion vibber (brion @ pobox.com)
