As KDE 3.2 is approaching and the first Beta version is near, more and more people are testing it. Therefore, a lot of new bugs are appearing in KDE's bugtracking system. While this is of course a good thing, it is much easier for the developers if all the reported bugs are (still) valid and precise enough. Everyone with a current version of KDE is able to do this cleanup-work, coding-knowledge is not needed.

So if you wish to help KDE, consider reading through this manual posted on the KDE Community Wiki Site and do your part in making KDE 3.2 the best KDE ever! Read More
