Hi folks,

For the final milestone, everyone needs to become great friends with our bug
tracker. Check it very often. If you find a bug, report it as-per the
process outlined in previous e-mails. If you see something that hasn't been
fixed or started (the status isn't "in progress), assign it to yourself, or
change the status to "in progress" and fix it.

Also, wishlist items can be added as well. Some things are better asked
about in a group e-mail first and then added as a wishlist item once the
group has agreed, but either way, keep wishlist items in mind as well.

Now that we are essentially feature-complete, the bug tracker is the heart
of the project. Finding and fixing bugs, as well as adding small wishlist
items that improve the overall experience of the applications.

Just be sure in this process to keep the status of the bugs updated properly
and to leave comments in the bugs if you are working on something so that
nobody steps on each other's toes. If done right, the bug tracker should be
all of the communication needed for a group of 5 people to operate on the
same codebase.
