Work in progress - watch for falling wikicode...

Preparing for Bug Day

• Change the following items on the Bug Day wiki page as appropriate:
  • Topic of the day
    • Move the old topic, if it's a unique topic, to the Bug Day Archive page
    • Replace the old topic with the new topic
    • Include links to bugzilla queries (tinyurls)
  • Moderators
  • Releases being targeted
  • Update links to the builds to be tested (usually trunk)
• Update this page with potential topics and schedule them

• Promoting Bug Days - Announcements should be posted to the following areas:
  • Mozilla QA blog
  • MozillaZine Firefox build Forum
  • moz.dev.quality newsgroup
  • Submit a story to MozillaZine (this won't work on short notice)
  • Pass the word around on irc: #qa, #firefox, #developers, etc.
  • Update link to the Bug Day under Hot Events

Topic Planner

• Good topics for bug days allow for steady progress when tackled collaboratively.
  • For Bugzilla: Try to focus bug queries such that bug lists are reasonable in length. Mix up the purpose from week to week. (don't just triage bugs every week)
    • Triage Unconfirmed
    • Dupes
    • Verification
    • etc
  • Public input tools: Attempt to map reports to bugs
    • Talkback
    • Reporter
    • Hendrix
    • Forums
• Suggestions future topics:
  • ???
  • ???
• Schedule:

March 27	Map Hendrix items to bugs

note: don't forget to check the Bug Day Archive page for previously done topics. it's perfectly fine to revisit past topics. The archives page is out of date. I will be working on pulling topics out of the bug day wiki history to accurately complete that archive.
