Re: Introducing Myself
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.

> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Improving
> - *Incomplete - *Not enough information.
