There are plans in mind for a next Bug Squashing Day?

PS: Sorry for many mails that implies the renames

The last one was the end of March so that makes it ~2.5 months since the old one.  It is best not to have these too frequently as motivation drops.  I think it would be fine if we organise one for about 1 months time.

+1 Although now that Gerardo is a bug wrangler, the bug tracker is in much better shape than before. The most crucial thing IMO is getting the bugs assigned quickly. Well done Gerardo. :) -- Greg

OK, I understand the reason. So the wiki page maybe needs to be update [#1] "Bug Squshing Day takes place during _*the first Sunday of every month*._".

Thanks. I believe that maintaining good order and updated the bugtracker is very important. It makes the community more friendly. :P [#1] http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bug_Squashing_Day -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

PS: Sorry for many mails that implies the renames. Don't worry. Bumping lost/forgotten tasks helps a lot to reduce the number of open bugs :)

Did the guideline for naming bugs with the [package] prefix end up in the relevant places? I know flyspray has a place for instructions, and I believe we have a wiki article as well.

It was in the header of every page in Arch Linux project on bugtracker for long time, but I think not more than 20% of users named reports that way, and I didn't think about changing all report titles to that standard (thanks for the work on renaming all open reports this way, Gerardo!), but after a wiki page was created - there's no mention of [pkgname] prefix anywhere. I've added a short guideline: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reporting_Bug_Guidelines#Summary Please feel free to improve it, I'm a bad writer. -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
