Hello,

There are right now 675 open issues.  (we managed to close 63 just the last 7 days�).


Open issues are down to 658. 

Especially old issues need help! It *so* much less work for someone who was involved
(maybe the original submitter?) in an issue in the past than someone who looks at
it from scratch!

A *lot* of old issues can be closed just by trying to re-create the bug and then seeing that
it has been fixed ages ago,

-> check all the issue that *you* submitted. Are they still relevant? Is there enough 
information for anyone to do anything?
-> check all the issues you where involved with in discussions. It is much easier for
   you than for me to understand what the conclusion of the discussion is.
-> help checking *old* entries. Is is still relevant? What is the next action?


Especially looking at your own issues, this is *very* needed. 
If an issue is open for 2 years, maybe the description is not well written? 

So ask yourself; Has the issue really enough information for *someone else* to act?
(an issue tracker is not your personal TODO list!)
