<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The triage team is starting to try and
collect up and classify bugs which a newcomer to the project would be able to
work on in a way which means people can find them. They're being listed on the
triage page under the appropriate heading:</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">The idea is these bugs should be straight
forward for a person to help work on who doesn't have deep experience with the
project. If anyone can help, please take ownership of the bug and send
patches! If anyone needs help/advice there are people on irc who can
likely do so, or some of the more experienced contributors will likely be happy
to help too.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Also, the triage team meets weekly and
does its best to handle the bugs reported into the Bugzilla. The number of
people attending that meeting has fallen, as have the number of people
available to help fix bugs. One of the things we hear users report is they
don't know how to help. We (the triage team) are therefore going to start
reporting out the currently 297 unassigned or newcomer bugs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">We're hoping people may be able to spare
some time now and again to help out with these. Bugs are split into two
types, "true bugs" where things don't work as they should and
"enhancements" which are features we'd want to add to the
system. There are also roughly four different "priority"
classes right now, “3.1”, “3.2, "3.99" and "Future", the
more pressing/urgent issues being in "3.1" and then “3.2”.</p>
