<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">Â </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><a href="https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs" style="color:rgb(5,99,193)">https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Bug_Triage#Newcomer_Bugs</a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Â </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">Â </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 280 unassigned
or newcomer bugs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Â </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, “2.8â€, “2.9’,
"2.99" and "Future", the more pressing/urgent issues being
in "2.8" and then “2.9â€.</p>
