Triaging Competition, was: Fw: [libreoffice-users] Re: LO 4.0.3.3: 'Insert: Horizontal rule' is missing

Hi :)
+1
Yes, to actually join in with the triaging it would help to learn how to do it properly!  There are 
a few basic things in the instructions that almost anyone could handle quite easily.  Getting some 
of those things out of the way might help the more experienced triagers get on with the heavier 
tasks.  
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugTriage 

When i said it might help if a few of us knew what is in the drop-downs that is mostly because we 
often have requests for new features and it would be good to know which drop-down to use for 
feature-requests.  Also some of the titles look a bit unpleasant and it might help for us to be 
able to explain some of the meanings of those on-list here to avoid unnecessary chatter getting 
repeated in many different bug-report threads.  

Regards from 
Tom :)
