As an update to this, I've been talking publicity and bug days with Pat  
Eyler (check out [1] if you've not yet seen it) and he recommends that we  
make the next release a 0.4 preview, and collect the small bug reports  
 from that for a bug day in the near future. I think that makes sense, so  
I'm going to make a start on getting that set up.

We're also talking about other bug day activities that might help get  
people excited about / involved in the project - like extending test  
coverage and writing documentation. We're lucky to have Pat's help on  
this, because it's hardly my strong suit :). Any other suggestions anyone  
has would be most welcome.

I'm not sure yet exactly when this would happen, but it'd be soon - we  
don't want to be keeping even small bugs hanging around for too long.

Thanks,
Ross
