Tip

This page contains step by step instructions to get you set up to triage bugs.

Open a Bugzilla Account

If you do not already have one, you should open an account on bugs.kde.org. This will enable you to log in and comment on bugs.

Join the Mailing List and IRC Channel

You should join the bugsquad mailing list to keep up to date on the latest bugsquad happenings. We also gather in #kde-bugs on irc.freenode.net where you are welcome to ask any questions you have.

Pick a Bug to Triage

Choose a bug to triage. Pick any bug you like - a good place to start is with an application you use regularly and are familiar with. You can use bugzilla's query interface to search for bugs to triage.

Read through The Steps of Triaging a Bug to learn what to do once you have chosen a bug to triage.
