I think that putting  the following couple of pages together on the Wiki  :

- General informations on bug days :

 * What is a bug day ?
 * Who can attempt ?
 * When does it take place ?

-  Detailed informations on what to do during a bug day :

This can be split in two parts : bug squashing and bug triaging :

 * As for bug triaging :
  * How to find bug reports that are most important to triage ?
  * How to triage a bug report ?

* As for bug squashing :
 * How to find bug confirmed bug reports that are most important to fix ?
 * How to fix a bug ?

along with an IRC channel and a mailing-list to announce special events 
(like special bug days before a release, etc.) could be a good step 
forward :-).

What do you think about this ? I can give some time to help organize 
these bug squashing/triaging thing. I can write the wiki pages too .
However, I think we should discuss about conventions used by mono 
developers for the bugzilla system (like what version or milestone a bug 
report should be assigned to, etc.) before doing it.

Looking forward to hear your comments.

All the best,
