Actually we have held a lot of bug squashing days

http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Category:Global_bug_squashing_days

The next one is Friday the 9th of August, each of them we keep
statistics for http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/2011-11-04_Global_bug_squashing_day

The scoreboard was actually from the Kohacon12 Hackfest, you can see
it here https://gitorious.org/scoreboard/scoreboard/blobs/raw/master/index.html
you can clone it if you want,

https://gitorious.org/scoreboard/scoreboard

We also have our dashboard, http://dashboard.koha-community.org/ which
is designed to highlight where work is needed.
(Cloneable as well of course)
