This one day a month should not +replace a developers normal bug tracking duties. This "bug day" should become +something that involves the user community to make them feel closer to the +developers. + +Motivation +========== + +I believe this would help keep the number of bugs in bugzilla at a lower level. +This would also be a good chance for some user submitted ebuilds to be committed +that would normally go overlooked. I think this is a good idea. We could turn +this into a big deal for the user community. + +Specification +============= + +This doesn't require any coding. It just requires one day each month that +little other than bug closing will happen. I would like to see all developers +participate, but I know it's unlikely that we could get everybody free on the +same day. The majority of the people that have had an opinion have +suggested a weekend day. We will have bugday's on a Saturday. Gentoo +developers can try to get some of the users to help them out. A prize to +the most successful developer was suggested. This is an idea to keep in +mind for the future. I guess I'm going to be the one coordinating this +until I get help, but when I do get help in coordinating this we can +coordinate via irc if all parties are capable, or email if not. I will +send out a notice telling the details at least one week in advance to the +-dev, -core, and -user mailing lists. + +Rationale +========= + +Gnome [1]_ , Mozilla, Zope [2]_ , and other open source projects do something similar with good +success. + +References +========== + +..
