Since no one else seems to be in the mood to say anything either... What sort of things do we want to start aiming for? Certainly we want to keep killing release-critical bugs, but do we also want to try minimising normal/wishlist bugs in, say, base or important packages? Should we try doing an audit of some of the distribution for security- related bugs in the same was the OpenBSD people have? Should we start going through the lintian bugs, and start harassing (err, sending patches to) the maintainers of some of the packages with easily fixed lintian bugs? Should we work on fixing up the perennial problem of missing manpages, and removing all the links to undocumented(7)? I still think it'd be good to have a -qa homepage somewhere to keep track of where we're up to on things like this, too. > I personally know C, C++, and perl, and have poked at numerous > others. bash, python, scheme, java....
