Hi :)
To "start the ball rolling" you could just post a quick bug-report without
going through much of the guide there. It's not much different from posting an
email.
You need a sensible subject-line that gives a VERY brief idea of what the
actual problem is. The Users List can cope with appalling subject-lines such
as "Problem with LibreOffice on my machine", which is long and fails to tell us
anything at all. However for a bug report you really need something better.
Perhaps "General input/output error with 4.1.0" or something. Also keep the
contents of the message as on-point as possible too.
Then later on you can return with extra "strace" reports or whatnot and add
them to your report, again in much the same way as you can reply to your own
messages in the threads in the emailing list. It helps to do that quite
quickly to try to make sure that any QA staff have as much info as you
reasonably can to save them from having to add a new message saying "Needs more
info". If you really do needs help producing the t4echie info they want then
they are probably really helpful with that but it's best to avoid taking up too
much of their time, if possible.
Actually that does bring up the point about Marc's email earlier. Many people
here could easily help with QA because there are a lot of reportrs that need
the same type of help as each other so you can copy&paste similar responses and
gradually learn yor way in. Also there are many tasks that really don't need
any technical skill at all. Any little bit that anyone can do, especially
regularly, even if it's an hour/week or something, would be a huge help.
Regards from
Tom :)
