I have read them and I am familiar with them. Should I need questions I 
will consult the wikis or ask another member.

I should search for any passwords, possible bank numbers, user names, 
server names, or anything else that could be a potential breach of 
privacy/security.

None in particular for the long-term. I've been helping out on Launchpad 
since 2008 and have decided to try and elevate my involvement (as well 
as have the authority to change some bug statuses for those times when 
lone bugs are forced to wait for someone to come along.

I will probably start with Compiz and the software-center.

1) https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/579688

I would set this as 'low' because of the trivial impact on users. It 
does not affect the program's functionality or stability in any way.

2) https://bugs.launchpad.net/banshee/+bug/738862

I would set this to 'low' -- same reasons as the above.

3) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/923823

I would actually have set this to 'wishlist' as it's a feature 
enhancement request. Since it was reported upstream and properly 
documented it was ready for developer response.

4) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/297234

I would set this to 'medium' because of the non-frequency of such a 
setup does not warrant a 'high' value. It warrants a 'medium' rather 
than a 'low' because Compiz is a core Ubuntu application.

5) https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/768800

This is 'wishlist' material because this is a non-trivial extension of 
functionality not in the design scope. I confirmed the bug with my own 
tablet.



Apologies is my application is not sufficient; I would appreciate any 
feedback for how I can improve my skillset should my evaluation lack the 
minimum requirements.
