Hi John,

Welcome among us.

You help is welcome also in this moment.
And thanks a lot for the explanations, that's right that we have not a good
utilisation of our management 's bugs plateform.
Your cleaning is falling down at the good period with our future plans. Like
this, we will have a better management/view of the bugs, wishlist,
Question,...

Oh I should introduce me : I am Olivier Girard (french) that you know me
better as Cenwen.

Best regards.

>    - *Wishlist - *When the importance is set to wishlist, set the status

>    - *Patch - *When ever you add a patch to a bug mark the attachment as a
>    patch and add the patch tag. This is what the triage guide says to do, but I
>    do not know if the tag is necessarily. Any thoughts? (I wouldn't mind
>    deleting it)
>    - *Importance - *The importance needs to always be set. The default is
>    medium. see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance for more details.
>    - *Confirmed - *The status should be set to confirmed when the bug is
>    affecting more than one person. If you (not the bug reporter) can reproduce
>    the bug it can also be marked as confirmed.
>    - *Triaged - *The status should be set triaged when a bug can be
>    confirmed and is ready to be worked on by a developer. see
>    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Improving
>    - *Incomplete - *Not enough information.
>
> One thing that needs to be worked on is setting more bugs to triaged.
> Yesterday there was only one or two bug triaged. The whole wishlist is
> triaged now too.
