projects that do something similar.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="abstract">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id3" name="abstract">Abstract</a></h1>
<p>Gentoo Linux should have one day a month that is devoted to clearing out bugs,
and accepting new ebuilds from bugzilla.  This one day a month should not
replace a developers normal bug tracking duties. This &quot;bug day&quot; should become
something that involves the user community to make them feel closer to the 
developers.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="motivation">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4" name="motivation">Motivation</a></h1>
<p>I believe this would help keep the number of bugs in bugzilla at a lower level.
This would also be a good chance for some user submitted ebuilds to be commited
that would normally go overlooked. I think this is a good idea. We could turn
this into a big deal for the user community</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="specification">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5" name="specification">Specification</a></h1>
<p>This doesn't require any coding. It just requires one day each month that 
little other than bug closing will happen. I would like to see all developers
participate, but I know it's unlikely that we could get everybody free on the 
same day.</p>
