Bug Day 4 - Sunday 18th May 2008
================================

     Bug Day 4 will take place on Sunday 18th May from 0:00 UTC - 23:59
UTC. (That's a start time of 02:00 CEST, or 17:00 PDT). For this Bug
Day, we will be sorting and testing bugs reported against Konqueror.

     Bug Days are hosted by the KDE Bugsquad
[http://techbase.kde.org/Contribute/Bugsquad] approximately once every
two weeks. Their purpose is to check back through the large numbers of
bugs stored in the KDE Bug Tracking System  [http://bugs.kde.org] and
investigate how to reproduce them. This means that when developers come
to the bug reports to fix them, all the information they need is
available on the report and they don't have to spend huge amounts of
their time investigating the bugs - they can just focus on fixing them.
During each Bug Day, we will focus on one area of KDE in particular. For
this Bug Day, we will be focusing on general bugs in Konqueror. More
information can be found on the Bug Day 4 Techbase Page.

     Joining Bug Days is a great way to help the KDE project. The only
things you need to take part are a computer running KDE 4 and an
internet connection. No programming skills or previous contributions to
KDE are necessary. You can join at any point during the day, and stay
for as long or short a time as you like. If you are a KDE user hoping to
contribute, then this is a great way to get started - there will be
plenty of experienced Bugsquad members on hand to answer any questions
you might have. To get involved, join our IRC channel, #kde-bugs on
irc.freenode.net, where we will help you get underway.
