Thanks for doing this.

The bugs have been submitted correctly, but, and here is where teamwork 
takes place, they need to be confirmed. So, if some of the team members 
on this list could take a look at these bugs and either confirm or not 
confirm the bugs, then they will be assigned to a coder. If they are not 
confirmed, then they just sit there and wait for confirmation.

For example of such teamwork, I specifically work on website-related 
bugs, and we (the website team) will get many of our bugs worked on by 
devs. This is mostly due to the fact that some of us confirm the bugs or 
find that the bugs are really not a problem; once confirmed the devs can 
then get to work on these.

If some of you are unsure on how to do this, here is the procedure:

* just pick a bug
* test-try the procedure on how to replicate the bug (you should find 
directions on the bug ... if not just ask here on the list and somewill 
be able to inform you of the problem. If no one can tell you about it, 
just leave a note on the bug telling the original poster that you need 
more instructions in order to confirm the bug)
* leave a comment on whether you can confirm that you can indeed make it 
do what it says in the bug or not.
* your are done!
* member of the QA (Quality Assurance) triage team will then try to 
assign the bug to an interested dev (remember that our devs are mostly 
volunteers)

Even better if more than one person can confirm the bug. The reason is 
that the dev will then know/have a contact list where she/he can ping to 
test-try any fixes.

(Note, that you will have to register on the Bugzille/Freedesktop site 
if you do not as yet have an account.)

Ping me if you need any more help with this.

Cheers,

Marc
