KDE PIM Bug Triage on Saturday 28 October 2006
==============================================

   This Saturday, 28 October 2006, a bug triage day will be held. This
time we are going to clean up the bugs from Bugzilla
[http://bugs.kde.org] for the KDE PIM module, after a successful session
for Konqueror [http://dot.kde.org/1157239921/] several weeks ago. We
will meet on the IRC channel #kde-bugs on Freenode to coordinate the
whole effort.

     At the time of writing the two largest PIM applications, KMail and
KOrganizer, have about 3400 open bugs and wishes in Buzilla. For
developers it is almost impossible to get an overview. That is why a bug
triage day is being organised in order to reduce the amount of bugs in
the Bugzilla system. On this particular day, you can help us with one or
more of these tasks:

    * Confirming bugs. Bugs with the UNCONFIRMED status should get the
      NEW status once someone else is able to reproduce the bug
      reliably.
    * Finding bug duplicates. Many bugs entered into Bugzilla are
      duplicated of other bugs. Sometimes it's hard to recognise these
      duplicates by a single person.
    * Close bugs which insufficient information and which are open for
      quite a long time (i.e. reporter does not respond on a
      need-more-info request).
    * Categorise bugs into the right components. Many bug reports for
      Kontact really belong to KMail and KOrganizer, for example.
    * Finally, fix bugs when they seem to be trivial, but that is
      certainly not the focus of that day.

     More information on the bug days can be found on our Bugsquad page.
