If you are up to it, just browse through the default bug tracker they land at intervals and see what's in the wrong place and move it or comment that it should be moved or find its duplicate. The rest of the projects with bug trackers are listed here.
No worries I will be on it first thing Monday morning when I get back from my in-law's house since I only have edge connection via my phone here. > The Testing page could be dynamic and only show up immediately post releases since it could be seen as not always necessary. > > Copy pasted from IRC: > > I would say 60%+ of the bugs that were reported since the beta started are duplicates, it takes valuable developer time to sort them > > We need a mockup for a section of the website called "Testers" or "Testing" and it needs links to each project's bug tracker.
