| ===== Bug Reporting and Testing ===== | ===== Bug Reporting and Testing ===== |
| One of the most useful tasks that we rely on the community for is testing and reporting of bugs. You can report bugs on the [[https://bugzilla.xfce.org/|Xfce Bugzilla site]], the [[https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce-bugs|Xfce-bugs mailing list]], or you can ask on our IRC channel [[irc://irc.freenode.net/#xfce|#xfce on Freenode]] for help. Please do not use the forums to report bugs. Before submitting a bug, please try your best to check if it has already been reported. When writing your bug report, try to be as descriptive as possible, but avoid verbosity. Mozilla has a nice guide on [[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Bug_writing_guidelines|how to write a bug report]].
