So you want to help? Great! You don’t have to be a C++ guru and you don’t need to spend lots of time. A big portion of the help we need is feedback and bug reports. Start out by test driving Mozilla. Download a binary and get a Bugzilla account. You’ll need the Bugzilla account to report bugs. Before you do so, be sure to read the bug writing guidelines. If you plan to code, read the hacking documents. Whenever you begin work on something that’s more than a day’s work, we strongly recommend that you let people know about it. Post your plans to an appropriate newsgroup (See the owners’ page for more details.) If you’re working on fixing a bug, make a note of it in the bug report in Bugzilla to track your progress and to catch the attention of others. If no bug exists already, then file a bug and assign it to yourself. When adding features, consider adding an enhancement request for the feature in Bugzilla and assigning it to yourself. An enhancement request is a bug whose severity is “enhancement”. See below for more details of the process. Publicizing your efforts lets others know what you’re working on so they can coordinate their work with yours, offer help, and avoid duplicating your work. It opens your work up for peer review, and provides an archive so the same issues don’t need to be repeated. Also, if someone else is working on the same thing, they can let you know and save you a lot of work.
