Things to be done
There are many things we can do as part of our Bug-a-thon, and our imagination is our only limit. That said, I would like to consider parsing the list of open IDs below, see what is stale dated or irrelevant, and just close them. Perhaps something has been done, and not been closed. Let us identify it, and close it. Then we can summarize a short list of bugs that need attention, and consolidate feature requests for our developers.
- Refactoring/Suggestions

In the past, BibleTime was released "as the Spirit so moves us". At the conclusion of this Bug-a-thon we can provide technical feedback for the direction of the project, and incorporate it into our Development Plan We should also prayerfully consider options, target goals and future direction of the application.

Bug-a-thon Prayer
In the book of Matthew we are told, "For where two or three are gathered together unto my name, there am I in the midst of them."
"Lord, keep our fingers nimble and our minds quick, our tempers long and our bad moods short, our moods light and our silliness to a minimum. Keep our focus on Your work, spreading the Gospel through the gifts you have bestowed upon us"
