[bt-devel] handling bug reports

[Martin Gruner]

Daniel,

on one hand this sounds like a great idea to me, and I want to encourage you 
to test BibleTime thoroughly.

On the other hand, I would like to focus on getting bugs *solved*. That is not 
neccessarily a contradiction, but I'm afraid we couldn't handle 2 or more new 
bugs per day at this time.

I also want to encourage you to work towards a new homepage for BibleTime. 
This is also very important.

Bauplan des Lebens - längst im Gen entdeckt!
Die Wissenschaft ist stolz: Sie hat's gecheckt.
Nun ist der Bauplan als Beweis beliebt,
dass es den Architekten gar nicht gibt.
