7️⃣ @Griffyn Heels - Update on the future of the initiative survey

Griffyn Heels	Here’s a chart of the responses to Q1
Griffyn Heels	Overall the feedback in responses was positive about continuing the initiative and expanding the goals.Here’s a summary:Expanding Goals: Several respondents suggested expanding Bugsmash’s goals Quality over Quantity: Multiple participants emphasised the importance of focusing on crucial, long-standing issues rather than any bugSponsorship: One user proposed exploring official sponsorship to tackle challenging bugsTriage and Issue Management: Several participants discussed potentially changing goals to focus on triaging, or creating an IssueTriage InitiativeComponent-Focused Approach: A few respondents suggested a component-focused approach to reduce bugs in specific areas.Efficiency: Some participants mentioned reducing meetings to make them more impactfulLet me know what you think of the above items.
Griffyn Heels	Personally, I think we should:Keep the initiative focused on Bugs and expand our goals for another yearMove the meetings to monthly to get some more engagementReduce the daily triage to 1 item a dayInterested to see what people think about the targeting items (difficulty and component focused) as we’ve tried this before but focusing on Criticals (for example) is difficult and limits the initiative to experienced community members.
larowlan	plus one to those ideas
darvanen	Sounds sensible to me considering the feedback received. +1
lendude	Those ideas sound good, +1
