[Zope-dev] Bug days

[Brian Lloyd]

Hi all - 

In an effort to better keep up with the collector, I'd like
to throw out the idea of doing periodic "bug days" (a la 
the mozilla bug days), where Zope geeks and committers would 
get together on IRC and spend a few hours knocking out issues.

I've drafted a preliminary bug day manifesto that describes 
how it would work in a little more detail:

  http://dev.zope.org/CVS/BugDays

I'd like to hear what people think, as well as work out a few 
logistics:

  - Given the wide geographic area that committers (and patch 
    submitters) cover, what is a good time of day for a bug 
    day to start / end (where start and end are always going 
    to be fuzzy, of course).

  - Would it be better for bugdays to be ad-hoc, or should we 
    try to set up regularly-scheduled bugdays at some reasonable 
    interval? If the latter, we need to come up with a day / time 
    that is agreeable to as many of the committers as possible.

Thoughts?
