This is the startpage for everybody interesting in dealing with bug reports in maemo.org Bugzilla.
What is a Bugsquad?
The maemo.org Bugsquad is a team that takes a look at the incoming and existing bug reports in maemo.org Bugzilla to make sure that they are in good shape before a developer spends time on the reports.

Bugdays
The Bugsquad will have a regular monthly day where we look through old Bugzilla bugs to clean up. Of course we don't just do this on bugdays, but it's more fun together and a cool way to introduce new people. Sometimes there also might be specific bugday subjects, for example "Email issues" or "older bugs about Maemo4". Our first bugday will be in December - more information to come.
Meetings
The QA team has occasional meetings.
Future plans
- Technical plans:
- We plan to either improve the template used in the enter_bug textarea, or also enhance/switch to something like the guided submission form.
- Upgrade to Bugzilla 3.4
Documentation
Please use the "Bugs:" namespace for any subpages to keep consistency with other namespace schemes used in this wiki.
