--- Comment #17 from Petr Mladek <[email protected]> ---
I would use something like the following text at
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Triage_For_Beginners:

1. Find[1] a bug that you want to try to reproduce
2. check if it is reproducible; leave a comment, set status NEW or NEEDINFO[2]
3. check if component, severity and priority looks reasonable[3]
4. escalate major, critical, and blocker bugs[4]
5. optional: add more useful information[5]

If you are in doubts, please contact us on [email protected]

The links [1][2][3][4][5] should point to a more detailed information:

[1] how to find non-triagged bugs
[2] hints what to do if it is reproducible, what to do does not work, what to
do it is works
[3] hints what means reasonable component, ...   well, this is not clear even
for experienced triaggers but it 
       should be important part
[4] hints how to escalate bugs (developers in CC, Whiteboard flags, MABs)
[5] hints how to add more useful information (more Whiteboard flags,  check if
it is a regression, add 
     backtrace, do bibisect, add test document, screenshot, easier steps to
reproduce)


My approach is that we should teach people how to do it correctly from the
beginning. Of course, we must not scare them by complex intro page but we
should provide handy links to details. I prefer to link particular sections
than just link the whole scary page on the end.

The text on the intro page need to describe the basic idea, so people could do
the job intuitively even without reading details.

Finally, I still suggest to point people to the mailing list. IMHO,
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/QA_Team is not a good idea because the
page is not up-to-date, some people might not react well. I think that some
shared place would work better. We need to create a living and friendly place
from the QA mailing list anyway. We could add more shared channels if we have
them later.

If you do not mind, I could update the wiki.
