Hello QA-ers,

it's the time of the year again, time for the PHP Bug Hunt Event! Although 
this is the first time, I'm pretty sure it will be fine.


What is the PHP Bug Hunt Event?
-------------------------------
The goal of the PHP Bug Hunt Event is too read, verify and updating of bug 
reports. At this moment there are a lot (800+) bug reports which are 
sleeping in our nice bugsystem, and they need to be taken care of.


How do I participate?
---------------------
Easy! Take a look at http://www.php.net/~derick/bugpacks.html . You will 
see 51 bug packs with bugs in it, nicely categorized. I'm asking you to 
pick one (or more of these 'Bugpacks') to take care of. Taking care of 
means:
1. Choose a bugpack, and mail your bug pack ID along with your name to 
   this list, so that we make sure no pack is done twice. I'll update the 
   bugpack list file then.
2. Read the reports in your bugpack
3. Verify them (if that is needed), or ask others to verify them. If you 
   want to discuss what to do with a report, write to this list.
4. Update the reports status and add your information. If you think the 
   bug is already fixed, choose the "Already fixed" / "Already fixed in 
   CVS" QuickFix. If you are not sure how all those statusses work, feel 
   free to ask on this list.

You can only update bugs if you have a CVS account, but 
you don't need any specific karma, unless you want to fix the bug 
yourself (which will be _highly_ appreciated). If you want to request a 
CVS account, use the form @ http://www.php.net/cvs-php.php and make 
sure you specify "PHP Bug Hunt Event" while requesting it.


What do I get in return?
------------------------
A nice cleaned up bug database, so that developers can concentrate on the 
real bugs, instead of having the dig through a lot of shitnitz and of 
course much appreciation of the 100's of thousands of PHP users.



I hope I can count on you all!
