Revision as of 19:03, 18 March 2008

WIP - Work In Progress

[Add your query ideas directly by editing the appropriate subsection of the wiki page. If the query/class of bugs is a documented priority for Thunderbird 3, please indicate by prefixing with "!".]

The following bugzilla queries may be used to find Thunderbird related bugs for the purposes of doing bug triage, finding duplicates, as a model for a more refined query, as a template to create your own query, or for general research. These queries primarily focus on problem bugs, and so do not include bugs which are enhancement request. In general, trivial queries will not be listed here. See Thunderbird bug triage for information about the triage process.

rate queries:
