Yes indeed. I'm certainly available to assist a new person to make him/her a 
bug hunter. So this is a good idea.... But I don't see the people standing in 
line for this task... If they/you do please speak up!

But the issue was, if i remember correctly that James wanted to hunt some bugs 
and I think he can do that anyway.

I agree, a bug hunting group should be formed for this.

I think we should organise a bug hunting day, but let us focus on managing the 
bugs, not on writing yet another document.
