Squeeze Release Goals

This page is based on the equivalent page for Lenny. See also ReleaseGoals for a more official page.

The squeeze release goals will probably show up at http://release.debian.org/squeeze/goals.txt, but that page is too weird to use in terms of "how can I contribute today", so this page was made with more useful links and information.

The links are intentionally shaped to give useful information to an NMU-happy developer. For example, the list of bugs in unstable is primarily interesting for developers because that is where you would upload. The list of bugs in testing shows how many fixed packages still need to be helped into testing.
