News: Let's hunt some more game

[bongowongo]

Dear Linuxmce community,

The call for the hunt has been answered, and the results are promising.

The spoils of the hunt

Open defects have been decimated because of the efforts of all our hunters, nice work!
Asterisk seems to work now, but please be critical, post bugs if you find any.

But we are not done yet; as of now 6 bugs are still open: http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/report/9

We kindly ask you if you could verify and/or reproduce them and report your findings in SVN or in the forum. It will make the lives of the dev's a lot easier.
Take a look
