You've probably noticed that BMO has a lot going on. Hopefully you've already watched [https://gerv.makes.org/popcorn/1bn6 Understanding Mozilla: Bugzilla], which gives a quick tour of BMO. We'll now delve into some more details of various definitions, features, and processes in BMO. | You've probably noticed that BMO has a lot going on.

This is a work in progress. There are stubs in every section. If you feel like you know enough to write a paragraph or two about any subject, please do! | |||
== BMO vs Bugzilla == | |||
what is bugzilla, what is bmo, and how are they different? | |||
== Searching == | |||
Omg, so many ways to search, why do we have so many, and how do they work? | |||
=== Quick Search === | |||
Quick Search rocks! You should use it. | |||
=== Advanced Search, Pronouns === | |||
Advanced search looks hardcore, but the rewards for learning how to drive it are plentiful. Also, pronouns are amazing. | |||
=== Other Searches (Instant, Simple, Google) === | |||
In case you were looking for more ways to search. | |||
== Bugmail Filtering == | |||
Too much bugmail? Filter on BMO itself and/or via x-headers! | |||
== Bug Tagging == | |||
Want to organise or keep track on bugs which are important to you? Use tags. | |||
== Comment Tagging == | |||
Want to convey some out-of-band information on a comment? Tag it. Want to auto-collapse a spammy, abusive, or obsolete comment? Tag it. | |||
== Keywords and the Whiteboard == | |||
What are all these keywords and weird whiteboard stuff? What is a whiteboard anyhow? Which should i use? | |||
== Tracking Flags | |||
tracking-firefox-20? Who's doing the tracking? Should i even set these flags? | |||
== APIs == | |||
I hear you want to integrate with BMO. Where to start, what to do next, and best practices which won't get you blocked. | |||
== Copy of BMO Database == | |||
Before you point wget at bmo, we can give you a dump of the database. really. Well, hopefully we will be able to, once we get some privacy issues cleaned up. | |||
== Custom Reports == | |||
For when advanced searching isn't advanced enough... ask a BMO developer to write you a custom report. | |||
== Needinfo Flag == | |||
It's good and you should use it. | |||
== Whining == | |||
Bugzilla can automatically send you buglists (requires canconfirm). | |||
== Dashboards == | |||
Trying to answer the "what should i do today" question? Go no further than the dashboards. | |||
