* The above [[#Helpful links]] were completed quite late: the first link had a wrong URL (finding Zarro Boogs) until the middle of the night from Wednesday to Thursday, the last two were added on Saturday evening, about the time the event actually started (thanks [[User:Mnyromyr|Mnyromyr]] for sharing the searches).

* Insufficient publicity? Apparently some SeaMonkey testers don't read the SeaMonkey newsgroups (not by NNTP, not by mailing list, and not by Google Groups). Maybe next time we'll have to ask someone ([[User:Ashughes|ashughes]]? [https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/326181ed0d whimboo]?) to publish the announcement on QMO, and/or someone else ([https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/1bab896ab4 Aleksej]?) on mozilla.status.net

* Not enough emphasis on the fact that any user can be a tester, no special talents (beyond the motivation to do it) or privileges required? (A Bugzilla account is needed but anyone can get one for free; but that was mentioned in [[#Before you start|Before you start]] above.)
* SeaMonkey leaders don't have IRC chanop status on [irc://moznet/bugday #bugday], and cannot change its topic (thanks Aleksej for taking the necessary steps on Saturday)

* Apathy? Thanks Px for giving the good example and figuratively kicking everyone else in the bottoms.

=== The [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=runnamed&amp;namedcmd=&#91;Halloween2011Bug&#93;&amp;list_id=1616733 full results] as a Bugzilla search ===
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi?bug_file_loc=&amp;bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&amp;bug_id_type=anyexact&amp;status_whiteboard=&#91;Halloween2011Bug&#93;&amp;status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&amp;x_axis_field=bug_status&amp;y_axis_field=resolution&amp;z_axis_field=bug_severity&amp;format=report-table By Severity and Status/Resolution] — This display is not ideal but I couldn't find how to make Bugzilla report Status/Resolution on a single axis. Feel free to edit.
Two bugs stand out in the RESOLUTION totals:
* {{bug|18575}} resolved FIXED: this is a meta bug, all whose dependencies were RESOLVED (and not as EXPIRED) as part of the Bug Event. Most of these had been either FIXED or made obsolete by the Toolkit Transition (Sm 2.0).
* {{bug|99661}} left as EXPIRED but marked <nowiki>[Halloween2011Bug]</nowiki>: info was asked to the Thunderbird QA. If it happens on both, it's probably two (frontent) bugs but with similar (forked) fixes.
=== Details ===
In all bug links below, Bugzilla conventions are adhered to throughout: ''UNCONFIRMED'', NEW or REOPENED, <s>RESOLVED</s> bugs.
At Mnyromyr's suggestion, this time a significant part of the effort was dedicated to trying to find a "proper" Status/Resolution for very old Suite bugs which had previously been marked UNCONFIRMED in June 2009 and/or RESOLVED EXPIRED in April 2010 for lack of any serious activity on them since the inception of the SeaMonkey project. Bugs whose Product::Component indicated that they might be relevant for the MailNews component and/or for the Sidebar were handled by priority; their dependencies were however not neglected.
A consequence of this choice (appropriate, maybe, for Halloween) is that some bugs which used to be RESOLVED EXPIRED have been "reawoken" and confirmed, bringing them back from the living dead, so to speak, and among the NEW bugs.
Other bugs which received particular attention were Composer bugs OT1H, and UNCONFIRMED bugs of all kinds OTOH.
'''Notes:'''
# On some bugs, several triagers cooperated. We tried to attribute the bug to the one whose action was most decisive, but in some cases, there was an element of arbitrariness in the decision.
# At least two bugs were found to have had their [Halloween2011Bug] whiteboard entry removed after the fact. We cannot guarantee that there were no others, which will thus have fallen off the bug list above and off all statistics below.
# For the bugs which were RESOLVED, little attempt was made to move them to the appropriate Product::Component, many of them were left in SeaMonkey::General.
