Revision as of 20:32, 11 November 2009

This is the startpage for everybody interesting in dealing with bug reports in maemo.org Bugzilla.

Contents

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.

How everybody can help

Triaging

Triaging means to make sure that a problem has not already been reported before and that it has correct, enough and recent information.

  • Triage guide: A guide for triagers that explains good practices when triaging bug reports.
  • Stock answers: List of stock replies to use for various types of bug reports. We collect and provide product-specific information and knowledge for triagers that can be used as a first feedback for reports that are too vague to be helpful or interesting for developers.
  • Tasks: You can take a look at new reports, reproduce reports in your favorite application, or clean up old "moreinfo" reports. Just pick your favourite area. The section "Bugs:Triage_guide#Potential_tasks Potential Tasks" of the Triage Guide lists some ideas.

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.
