I think it's a good concept and I'd like to propose that we regularly (once 
every month?) have an XWiki Day.

Ideas for such days:

* Bug fixing day: Reduce bug count
* Doc day: improve xwiki.org
* Deprecation day: reduce # of deprecated calls. Around 1700: 
http://nemo.sonarsource.org/drilldown/violations/XWIKI?&rule=squid%3ACallToDeprecatedMethod&rule_sev=MINOR
* Violation day: reduce # of violations. 10274 right now: 
http://nemo.sonarsource.org/drilldown/violations/XWIKI

Wow, wow, I'll make sure i'm not here when that will happen... :)

* Javadoc Day: Add missing javadocs in our code and remove checkstyle excludes
* Code Coverage Day: Add as many tests as possible (unit and functional)
* Broken Links Day: fix as many broken links as possible on xwiki.org. To find 
them is easy: we just need to enable the IRC Link Checker botlet and wait on 
IRC to get them!

These "violation"(!), "deprecation" "broken links" days could have a positive name: we're not doing a day to break links, we're doing a day to fix the broken links so it should be called something like "unbroken links day" or "links day" or something about what they fix.

Otherwise, yes, I think it's a good idea, although I'm not gonna +1 that since there are little chances I can actually participate to it.

Thanks,
Anca


I propose that whenever a day is over, we send a mail with the Date and Topic 
for the next day and it has to be about 1 month from the date of the mail.

To get this started I volunteer to be responsible for sending Day emails for 
now, unless someone else is interested to do this.

WDYT?

Thanks
-Vincent
