Nice. But, we _really_ need a better bugtracker. Anyone know about one
that would fit our needs (more features than jitterbug but not as horrid
as bugzilla)? For instance, there should be a way (easy way) to assign
issues to a person and filter issues for that person. Attachments are
handled poorly. Etc.

First off, we should delete the following folders:

beta-open               replaced by known-bugs
patches-deferred        not used
mac                     not used
jitterbug               not used
www                     not used
open                    split up

Also, we should create these:

TODO                    new, generates TODO file, linked by "Suggestions"
known-bugs              new, generates BUGS file, linked by "Known Bugs"

A script can be used to generate the files from the buglist.

I hold no strong opinions on what folders we should have for bugs, but
Raimar's suggestion I think is too many. How about:

bugs_server
bugs_ai
bugs_client
bugs_general
bugs_gtk
bugs_windows

Security, data and build system are so rare they can be filed under the
above. Build system is usually connected to a feature in either client or
server anyway. IMHO.
