<PRE>(Thanks Manuel, for improving what I wrote and thanks Dan for asking for examples.

I'll try to expand and improve this document - maybe even with screenshots - for use in the new wiki.)

Any suggestions (from anybody!) are welcome.

But please don't look at the current triage guide now.
I don't want you to concentrate on that guide, but I would like you to concentrate on what you know or learned by experience.
Later on the triage guide can be compared with this document and they can be fused into a guide that contains the best of both  :-)

</I>
*EASY THINGS TO BEGIN WITH:

*PACKAGE REQUESTS:

&gt;&gt;<i> Search bugzilla for package requests that haven't been assigned yet
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&amp;bug_status=NEW&amp;bug_status=REOPENED&amp;component=New%20RPM%20package%20request">https://bugs.mageia.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&amp;bug_status=NEW&amp;bug_status=REOPENED&amp;component=New%20RPM%20package%20request</A>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Some requesters forget to give a link to where the software can be
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> found.
</I>

&gt;<i>    
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> If they haven't given a link at all, you can ask them to give the
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> upstream link to the package. If they say: it is a Mandriva package,
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> you can say: not all our packagers are familiar with Mandriva, so
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> please give an upstream link.
</I>
&gt;&gt;<i> Or they put the link in the description field, which is good,
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> but the_link should also go in the URL field_. Like
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1067">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1067</A>  You can copy the link to
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> the url field, if you want to
</I>&gt;<i> You can also_complete the field RPM package_, and make an precise summary
</I>&gt;<i> if that is not enough (like removing: &quot;I'd like to see this package in
</I>&gt;<i> mageia&quot;
</I>and replace it

&gt;<i> _with &quot;$name-of-the-package, $a very short description&quot;_
</I>
BUGS:

Not all steps ar easy, you can start doing what is easy for you and leave the rest to others.
No bugs should be assigned to a maintainer before all necessary steps are taken (unless, of course, the maintainer chooses to grab the bug)


Step 1



&gt;&gt;<i> Look at the
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> new bugs that are reported and use bugzilla to find out whether one is
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> a_duplicate_  of an existing bug. If you are not used to searching
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> bugzilla: play around with it first. And don't forget to try the
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> advanced options <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/query.cgi">https://bugs.mageia.org/query.cgi</A> (choose right tab:
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> advanced search)
</I>Step 2a

Dit the reporter give the needed  basic information about the Mageia release he uses and what steps to take to reproduce the bug?

ADD:(examples of reports with and without needed info)


step 2b (often not so easy, if you don't know how to do it: leave it to others and watch what they do)

Check wether the reporter gave needed backtraces, if he didn't: ask for them and tell him how to get them if he doesn't know

ADD: (examples)


Step 3


&gt;&gt;<i> If someone has the same version of Mandriva as you and reports a bug
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> in a program you are familiar with, you can try to_reproduce_  the bug.
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>But often other Mageia users report that they have the same bug, so then they reproduced it.

If it can't be reproduced, than it isn't a bug and the bug should be closed
(but please tell the user he can find help for his problem on <A HREF="https://forums.mageia.org/en/">https://forums.mageia.org/en/</A>)

Step 4


&gt;<i> You can also_add a maintainer_  like what I do here:
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2856">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2856</A>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/show_activity.cgi?id=2856">https://bugs.mageia.org/show_activity.cgi?id=2856</A>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> check the src.rpm:
</I>&gt;<i>    	:src claws-mail with sophie (on irc or sophie.zarb.org)
</I>&gt;<i> or	urpmq --sourcerpm claws-mail
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> then search the maintainer:
</I>&gt;<i> 	:maint claws-mail
</I>&gt;<i> or 	search on the txt list: <A HREF="http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/data/maintdb.txt">http://pkgsubmit.mageia.org/data/maintdb.txt</A>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> then search the email of the maintainer: julien on the page
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=packaging#list_of_registered_people">http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=packaging#list_of_registered_people</A>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> or just type the id, sometime it's work (like for misc, tmb,...),
</I>&gt;<i> sometimes not (like here, there is two id) :)
</I>OLD BUGS:

&gt;<i> We must check that for all 'old' bug.
</I>&gt;<i> Here is a saved-search for all bug assigned to bugsquad:
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="https://bugs.mageia.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem&amp;remaction=run&amp;namedcmd=Bugs%20not%20triaged%20%28excl%20new%20RPM%20requests%29&amp;sharer_id=35">https://bugs.mageia.org/buglist.cgi?cmdtype=dorem&amp;remaction=run&amp;namedcmd=Bugs%20not%20triaged%20%28excl%20new%20RPM%20requests%29&amp;sharer_id=35</A>
