Bug Days
Bug Day is a volunteer's effort centered around bug triage. The intent is for people who are new to bug triage to be able to ask other triagers questions about how to handle bugs. Bug Day is, of course, entirely optional.
We haven't been organizing formal days for a while, however feel free to bring up the idea on the mailing list.
What
The goal of bug triage is to make it easier for developers to do development by organizing the bug list for them. This means the developers have to spend less time asking reporters what the problem is, confirming if it's still an issue in the latest Wine, and so on.
A good list of bugs to start with is here: http://tinyurl.com/winebugdayjuly2009 -- these are bugs that haven't been touched in a long time that have a download available. Often you can just test if the problem persists in the app yourself and then update the bug.
Another potential list are these bugs: http://tinyurl.com/winebugdayaugust2009 -- these are similar bugs that occur in open source applications, so Wine developers can look at the source code causing the problem if needed.
How to triage
Make sure you're using the latest release of Wine, using git is usually best. If a download is available, download and install the application in a clean prefix to attempt to reproduce the bug that is being reported. If you cannot reproduce the bug, post a comment as such - explaining the steps you took to reproduce the bug. If you encounter a different bug, file a new bug report for that problem if one has not been filed already. If a download is no longer available and cannot be found through a search engine, post a comment to say that the download link is broken.
How to find easy to triage bugs
Picking the low hanging fruit first is the easiest. Start by searching for bugs in applications you use regularly. Resolve the ones that are no longer there, and either test or ask for a follow-up on ones you're unsure of. Then check the AppDB page and see if it links to the remaining bugs, which should have status new. You can also take the time to file new bugs against applications you use if they aren't already in bugzilla.
Bugzilla permissions
If you don't have Bugzilla permissions (the ability to change bugs' status from Unconfirmed to New, Fixed, or Invalid), then feel free to ask someone to set the status for you (eg: "Could someone set bug #1 to invalid please?) Once you do this over a few releases, feel free to ask for Bugzilla permissions.
Where
Head into #winehackers channel on irc.freenode.net and feel free to dive in! Note, that #winehackers is the Wine developer's channel, not a user support forum. If needed, we may create a separate channel for bug day.
