We hope to triage all those bug reports and make Plasma even shinier!
So, what can you do?
- you need first an account to bugs.kde.org. You also need to have rights to amend bug reports states and we will have people giving you this right.
- triage bugs: you need a rather up-to-date system like 4.7.3. Preferred is 4.8 beta but it's not at all a requirement. Some of us will run master anyway to double check bugs already fixed. You either choose one of your preferred components and look at bug reports for it (like your preferred applet for example) or choose to pick reports in the list we have on bugs.kde.org (see plasma crashers on the left under the "Saved Searches" section, tinyurl here).
- fix bugs: you need to have a checkout of KDE master in order to make a patch.
Tutorials and people helping you will be available, do not hesitate to ask as many questions as you need! Goal is to effectively triage all those reports: find and mark duplicates, especially for crashes (RESOLVED as DUPLICATE of ####), test and assess if bugs are still there (set status to NEW), find bug reports for upstream components like third party applets from kde-apps.org,...
Doing this as a team makes it fun and I am sure you will learn a lot by sharing a bit of your time to join us! We're counting on you!
