Ok, from my side we can also write a simple blueprint for this kind of
feature requests. What's the opinion of the other developers here?

Bug description:
We should find a way to automatically integrate the current build number from the VCS (i.e. using "bzr revno", but a solution which does not depend on the bzr binary would be even better) and the current date (should be rather simple) dynamically into the build script, that is, without relying on resources/appResources.properties. This would simplify bug tracking from development builds. Since these strings are currently updated rather rarely, "Help->About" often reports incorrect information.
