Quoting from IRC:
<bubulle> alphascorpii, Tolimar: hmm, are you guys ready for the
500000th bug official announcement?
<bubulle> should happen in the next 12 hours or so
[ approximatly 16 hours later; the 500000th bug has ben reached in the
meantime ]
<Tolimar> bubulle: Urg... No. I'm not ready for anything -- three days
left to write my bachelor thesis -- and alphascorpii is attending a
conference.
<Tolimar> bubulle: Can fix the fixmes, and maybe ask don (?) about some
numbers? Maybe how many bugs got fixed, and how fast... Or how many of
these bugs where just WNPP / Installation reports? How many got
reported upstream? That might be interesting numbers to add to your
announcement.
<Tolimar> (Yes, I should find the time to send it out once it ready.)
<Tolimar> (Sorry, should have told you sooner, but actually: I'm marked
as beeing on VAC ;)
If anyone finalizes the announcement (bonus points for creating the WML
file our Web site, too), I'm willing to send it out, but I simply don't
have the time to do it myself.
