No criticism intended of the folk who sacrifice their free time dealing with other people's bug reports & diffs, it's very kind of them to do it :-) I guess lots of us paused a moment to admire the courage of the last bug-a-thon assault team (a weekend about a month back I recall). I just suggest the oldest bug reports (most boring/ intractable/ tedious, unappealing to unpaid volunteers) could be worked by paid/sponsored help, if there's every any money or sponsored hours available, leaving the newer bugs to interest the unpaid volunteers. -- Julian Stacey.
