The first calendar week of my part-time assignment to Blender Foundation duties has been completed. I’m working on some code to help me keep track of what we’ve been doing and how the bug tracker is being utilized.

We’ve set out some strategies we’d like to use to get our bug count down, and to help me getting a good overview I’ll keep improving this tool. Since our bug tracker is in a somewhat sorry state (no proper search, etc), I’ve been hacking around somewhat to get some extra data, but I hope this will be a temporary solution only. We’re working on an upgrade for http://projects.blender.org, but it’s not ready for release yet.

Next week I continue with the bug tracker work, and I’ll start looking into improving our developer documentation. Further I expect a new beta release to be done soon, to help users in their reporting efforts too, as a new baseline to report bugs from.
