Research ways to consolidate / streamline feedback channels and develop a proposal

 * Associated Page in Bug Management
 * The proposal will help guide the Wikimedia Foundation to help improve the quality and relevance of bugs that are reported to Bugzilla, as well as issues directed to OTRS, RT, and Village Pump.
 * Look at how other FOSS projects with large and diverse userbases handle their feedback channels
 * Look for FOSS projects to research
 * For example, Mozilla

Organize two public bugdays

 * This would include deciding on a theme or project, contacting stakeholders, and publicizing and outreaching to possible participants.
 * I plan to use social networks to outreach and encourage more women to participate.
