[bt-devel] handling bug reports

[Daniel Holmlund]

I think that is an excellent idea, Martin.  Regularly checking and
fixing bugs keeps stability at the core of our development cycle.

I've decided that one of the best way that I can contribute to the
BibleTime project is to track down and report one bug every day,
Monday through Friday.  I'd like to issue a challenge to anyone who
would be willing to except it.  The challenge is this.  The person who
can find and report at least one bug for the most number of
consecutive days wins.  Saturdays and Sundays are free days and we can
take a break without it affecting our scores.

Anyone interested?  I'm also up for suggestions as to what the price should be?
