No one pushed back on the 19th as a bug day, so I'm going to go ahead and send out announcements this evening.

We should mark issues in the tracker that are good candidates for new developers. How do we want to do this? We could add a new keyword ('beginner', 'bugday', ???) or add a prefix to the subject line. Does Roundup search also look at the text of the change notes added to a bug? If yes, then just adding a comment with the magic keyword would be sufficient.

Yes, it does. Unfortunately, I've been using "bug day" in some comments and that doesn't seem to work well in the search.

I think a keyword is easier, I can add it if you want me to.
