New Release Scheduled
As I'm sure you know, there hasn't been much activity for the last 8-9 months. That is why I'm excited today to announce that the next release of Streber, v0.0803, is scheduled for May 1st, 08. This release will be a maintenance release and so we'll be focusing on bug fixes and general polish the ulterior motive of re-"jump starting" the Streber Project and its community.

Ever wondered how to help contribute to Streber? Well, if you take a look at our task/bug list then you'll have noticed it is a little overgrown! We need clever people such as yourself to help triage.
- Close old bugs reports
- Try and reproduce/confirm bug reports.
- Ensure bug reports have enough details for a developer to deal with it (ie. steps to reproduce, version number, what they expected to happen, etc.).
- Ask reporters to provide more details/required details if needed.
- Ensure all fields are set correctly and appropriately (ie. minor bugs should not be marked as critical).
- Translate bug reports into English.
If you're real keen, hop on #streber and coordinate with others efforts to develop a bug triage guide!
So... Get your gloves on, get a can of raid out, and start debugging!
