Our aim is to improve the quality of the product by identifying defects and bringing them to the attention of the developers. > I would be happy to help as a tester and get some valuable experience.

We have a webpage with useful information for new volunteers here: http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/intro-qa.html That will answer some common questions and orient you to what we're working on. It will also get you set up with an account on our Bugzilla bug tracking system. You might want to also review some of the other orientation modules linked to from this page, for background about the project, Apache, how we work and make decisions: http://openoffice.apache.org/orientation/index.html Finally, you'll want to add an entry to the table on this wiki page: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/QA+Testing+Preferences Once you've done the above let me know and I can send you some user-submitted bug reports to review and attempt to confirm. We're working on the backlog of user reports right now. But in a couple of weeks we'll also start testing pre-release versions of Apache OpenOffice 4.0. If you have any questions, post a note to the list and I, or another volunteer, will respond. Again, welcome, and thanks for volunteering! -Rob > Best Regards > Alena > > -- > Alena Furman > mailto > margo.ch...@gmail.com
