Re: [tdf-discuss] QA - Bug Confirming: Volunteers required

How was the session on triage. I suggest a latest working release
instead of a beta, I cannot afford my LO not to work as I need it every
day and are unsure if I can install a beta and a release copy at the
same time. I do not want to take the risk.

I have been confirming some bugs, but the process is not clear. The wiki
page http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugTriage says to add a comment
to state confirmed. There is no way to search for unconfirmed. The
status can not be changed to unconfirmed or confirmed or VERIFIED. The
keywords cannot be set CONFIRMED. The bugs list does not show the
whiteboard (where CONFIRMED can be entered). A report can be done but it
is a work around.

Can the bugzilla be adjusted to help people wanting to confirm bugs and
move them on to the next stage, I suggest the easiest is to fix the
status list.
