| == What is Bug Triaging? ==
| |
| | |
| Bug triagers make sure that:
| |
| | |
| * bug reports have the information developers need to reproduce and fix them.
| |
| * bugs are assigned to the right component and version
| |
| * duplicate bugs are found and labelled
| |
| * feature requests reported as bugs are properly reported
| |
| * bugs already fixed are closed
| |
| | |
| == Things to Remember about Triaging ==
| |
| | |
| * Triaging bugs does '''not''' mean that you have to understand bugs and solve them yourself. It means you should be able to look at new bugs, and report if they are duplicates, if more information is needed, or if it is filed under the wrong component.
| |
| | |
| * There is no requirement of programming knowledge. However, a familiarity with Fedora, and Linux in general will be extremely useful.
| |
| | |
| * This is purely voluntary. We do not expect you to spend hours here everyday (though if you want to, you're more than welcome!). You can triage bugs whenever you have free time. You can spend as little as 15 minutes a week - every little bit helps!
| |
| | |
| * Be polite when triaging a bug. Here are a few sample responses to consider: [[BugZappers/StockBugzillaResponses| Stock Responses]]
