[arch-dev-public] Bug Squashing Day: Saturday 17th November
(for those who do not read the front page news) The number of bugs in the Arch Linux bug tracker is creeping up so it is time for some extermination. This is a great way for the community to get involved and help the Arch Linux team. The process is simple. First look at a bug for your favorite piece of software in the bug tracker and check if it still occurs. If it does, check the upstream project for a fix and test it to confirm it works. If there is no fix available, make sure the bug has been filed in the upstream tracker. Join us on the #archlinux-bugs IRC channel. We are spread across timezones, so people should be around all day.

I have updated the "Bug Wiki TODO" page. [1] I've added a generated list of orphan bugs, bugs that are open for a long time ( before 2012-01-01 ) and updated the [community] trivial fixes. If I have time left I will look into filling the rest of the categories ;). [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bug_Day/2012
