Thanks for mentioning this.   :)    I think bug hunts are great, but I
need to ask this question:   how does the current backlog of bugs factor
in with these bug hunts?     I understand the bug hunts are great for
finding new bugs, but I've filed several bug reports, some of which have
been stagnant for over six months.  Here is an example:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57116

I'm excited about LibreOffice 4.3's release because the software keeps
getting better and better.  However, it's also a bit frustrating when
reported issues exist for a long period of time.

Thanks!

Peace...

Tom
