Fellow users,

If you are a user and would like to help out (or become a developer ;))
and have a few hours a week you are willing to devote to helping us out,
you can help with the following (or more if you have more time):
1. Go through the bugs on bugzilla[0] marked FIXED, INVALID, or
WORKSFORME, but not VERIFIED[1] and test the reported fix and see if the
bug is indeed FIXED or not. If it is FIXED, mark it VERIFIED, but if it
is not fixed, mark it REOPENED with an explanation of what you tested
(can be short) and any errors you received (compile logs, if appropriate).

2. Download the latest ISO[2] and see how well it installs. Try out as
many combinations as you can think of (even if they seem odd) and file
any bugs you find.

3. Go through our install documentation[3] and update it (we can give
you access if you need, or post a corrected install guide here) with
corrections for our latest ISO from #2.

4. Try installing one of the 'big' window manager profiles
(kde-profile, xfce4-profile, gnome2-profile, etc.) from a fresh install
of the latest ISO (no X installed at all) and report any issues you find.
