Hello,

At this time, there are 595 active tickets in Trac. Don't you think it 
would be useful to organize a "bug hunting day" to close a maximum 
number of tickets ? Some of them are just small patches, they could be 
closed very quickly. Naturally, this should be done before releasing the 
first beta version.
