PHP Annual Bughunt!

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!
