Hello Olga, I've added you to the qa-team group in Bugzilla, so you should have permissions now to edit all bugs. As for builds, it depends on what you are trying to do. The builds on ci.apache.org are our daily automated builds. These are mainly to check whether or not we break the build with compile errors. We generally do not test these beyond what unit tests might run as part of the build. And as you see, the automated builds are for Linux and Windows only right now. When the developers teach a milestone, or have integrated a new feature that they think is worth testing, then they will post a note declaring a "snapshot" build. These are also listed on the wiki here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Development+Snapshot+Builds Snapshot builds are worth testing to look for regressions. And then there are the actually released builds, the ones you get from our www.openoffice.org website. These are very useful. Since they are what our users are running we can use these versions to confirm any incoming bug reports we get from our users. So initially I am encouraging new volunteers to just install the released AOO 3.4.1 and help review the large backlog of bug reports we have in Bugzilla. We have 3011 such unconfirmed reports. Right now that is one of the most useful things we can do. Is it OK if I assign you 10 or so defect reports to look at with AOO 3.4.1? -Rob > Olga
