Bugsquad Triage Guide

Why bug triaging is helpful?

• filter out duplications
• verify that the information, needed by the developer to fix the bug, is present
• verify that the bug is filed against the correct component
• verify that the bug has the correct software version field

Maintainers duty

How to get up to speed

Create a trac account

Create a trac account at laptop.org.

Join the sugar mailing list

To keep up to date with the recent discussion and developments we recommend joining the sugar mailing list. We might create a separate list for the Bugsquad in the future.

Read the Stock Responses

The BugSquad/TriageGuide/StockResponses are general examples of the kinds of comments that triagers should add to bug reports. Please read them carefully. In most cases you can use one of them as a comment.

Pick a bug

Use the tracker to create a query http://dev.laptop.org/query. This for example creates a query for all open sugar bugs.
