Hey contributors & ZFers,
Just wanted to remind everyone that today, tomorrow and saturday are our
monthly bughunt days. I'll be online to help anyone sort through bugs,
or get their jira/svn accounts setup. So ping me on #zftalk.dev on
Freenode.
Below is the copy from the announcement earlier this week.
Cheers!

Yep, it's the third week of the month- you know what that means: Zend
Framework Monthly Bughut! This Thursday, Friday and Saturday of July
(the 15th, 16th and 17th 2010), we'll be hosting our monthly bug hunt.
For those of you unfamiliar with the event, each month, we organize the
community to help reduce the number of open issues reported against the
framework.
The last two months of bug hunts collectively closed 63 issues. The May
bug hunt saw new first-time winner Jan Pieper step up and take first.
Then in June, Christian Albrecht (a previous bug hunt winner) took home
first again. Congratulations Jan & Christian and thanks for making the
bug hunt for May and June a success. If you have not already done so,
please contact Ralph Schindler or Matthew Weier O'Phinney for details on
claiming your prize.
All in all, bug hunt days have helped us close 100's of issues in Zend
Framework since their inception. These bug hunts have proved vital to
keeping up the bug squashing momentum in this project. So, whether they
are big bugs or small bugs, remember this: all bugs worthy of being
squashed.
Not convinced you should join in yet? Here are some more reasons:
* Improve your coding skillz by being around some of PHP's top
developers in #zftalk.dev while hunting for bugs.

resolving the most issues wins a Zend Framework t-shirt!
* Help improve the overall quality of the code you're already using.
* Fix issues that have been affecting you.
