How was the session on triage. I suggest a latest working release instead of a beta, I cannot afford my LO not to work as I need it every day and are unsure if I can install a beta and a release copy at the same time. I do not want to take the risk.
I have been confirming some bugs, but the process is not clear. The wiki page http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugTriage says to add a comment to state confirmed. There is no way to search for unconfirmed. The status can not be changed to unconfirmed or confirmed or VERIFIED. The keywords cannot be set CONFIRMED. The bugs list does not show the whiteboard (where CONFIRMED can be entered). A report can be done but it is a work around. Can the bugzilla be adjusted to help people wanting to confirm bugs and move them on to the next stage, I suggest the easiest is to fix the status list. steve On 11/03/11 22:43, Rainer Bielefeld wrote: > Hi, > > I want to push interest in bug confirming. > Currently we have lots of bugs with status UNOCNFORMED, waiting for > confirmation: > > <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&product=LibreOffice> > > > And even more important: many NEW bugs also are still unocnfirmed, > have lousy rare descriptions how to reproduce the problem, ... > > Bug confirming is really easy, required qualification only is: > - some training using LibO > - a computer, of course, > - some knowledge in English language to understand the reports > - A Bugzilla account. > > Newcomers should read hints on > <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport> > before they start. > > Some really easy candidates whatr still are "unotcued" are: > <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31856> > <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33636> > <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33978> > <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34093> > <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34121> > > Most important goal is a simple and clear statement whether it has > been possible to reproduce the problem.
