== Triage Process & Guidelines == | |||
If you're curious about how we triage and prioritize bugs, please visit [[Platform/Layout/Triage|our triage page]] for more information. This page includes information about our triage process and guidelines, as well as useful triage and backlog related bug queries. | |||
== Whiteboard Tags == | |||
We use the following strings (tags) in the whiteboard field on bugs in Bugzilla to track important metadata: | |||
* <code>[layout:backlog]</code>: Indicates the bug is in our backlog, and is either under active development, or planned development for the current year (see bug priority for approximate timeline). | |||
* <code>[layout:icebox]</code>: Indicates a bug we are considering including in our backlog in the future, but are unlikely to work on in the current year. | |||
* <code>[layout:triage-discuss]</code>: Indicates that we plan to discuss this bug in more detail at one of our internal, bi-weekly triage meetings. Usually this is set if the severity level is disputed, or in question, or other triage details of the bug are unclear. | |||
= Contributing = | |||
We always welcome new contributors! Here are a few things you can do to get started: | |||
* Read through the [https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/ Firefox docs], particularly the [https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/contributing/contribution_quickref.html Firefox Contributor's Quick Reference Guide.] | |||
* Follow the [https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/setup/index.html instructions for building Firefox]. | |||
