Good afternoon all, I'm writing a sort of "Introduction to FOSS for newbies" with a bit practical aspect. I'd like to cover testing a bit more and wanted to know if there's something describing in details bugzilla terms of use, bug states, etc, etc. So far I was able to find: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugsAndFeatureRequests
which links to many pages and seems useful at first glance. As it will take me lots of time to go through all of it I'd rather ask if there are any resources not linked from this page. i.e. I'm looking for a document that says: * if you're proposing new feature the start the summary line with [RFE] ... * if it's performance problem then [Performance] yum is slow
you get the point.
There's lots to be written about testing in general but I want to give starters a good pointer so that they not end with making a crappy report which nobody will ever see (and hence they'll back off of testing all together).
Thanks, Alexander.

If you're intending to cover interaction with upstream projects, as well as Fedora interaction, then Richard Jones has already written a useful document for patch submission

There state workflow is described here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow
which links to many pages and seems useful at first glance. As it will take me lots of time to go through all of it I'd rather ask if there are any resources not linked from this page. i.e. I'm looking for a document that says:
- if you're proposing new feature the start the summary line with [RFE] ...
- if it's performance problem then [Performance] yum is slow
This might give other useful hints:

Greetings,
Bugzilla itself includes documentation, however it may not be for the audience you are targeting. For example:
* Bug Writing Guidelines - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=bug-writing.html * Upstream bz documentation - http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/en/html/
I know there's more ... but I can't find those links at the moment :(
Thanks, James

I believe you have the best pages which address your question, but it wouldn't surprise me if there are others :-). I think we have a general problem in that this information is repeated and mixed with pages in other places too like QA and BugZappers.

~From the links folks sent me I start to think this too :), that was exactly what I needed.
Thank you all, Alexander.
