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. Choose one you want to triage. For the first bugs we encourage you to do it in conjunction with a member of the bugsqad team. You will find them at #sugar on freenode.
