Hi Ali,

Obviously, I have a more than the average knowledge about how UG works 
under the hood.
But my initial impressions after a couple of days using this 
development release is that it is one of the most rock solid releases 
I've been testing.

Everything is working in my machine (notice that I'm talking about my 
machine). Keyboard function keys work, Bluetooth, Wireless and wired 
network, fglrx beta driver with G-S works really fast. All my work 
environment was not affected, maybe because I mostly relay on 
vagrant-puppet deployments.

I completely agree with you that newcomers could find bugs easily 
because they are not used to the system and they could spot bugs that 
the rest of people could omit.

Let me review all the Bug triaging documentation and evaluate if I can 
do it, and more important if I can reserve some time to do it. Because 
the most valuated resource I have is time and, sadly, I don't have a 
lot of it.

Regards.
