= Why = | |||
Making Thunderbird better by resolving bugs is the goal. And before bugs can be resolved they often need cleaning and improvement because: | |||
* some reports are in a state that makes them hard to fix | |||
* some reports might not be real bugs and need testing to determine what, other than Thunderbird, caused them | |||
* some reports are not well-worded | |||
* many users do not have the technical skills or understanding to accurately describe the problem | |||
