* Make it a source of introductory material that helps volunteers, both new and old, spruce up their MozQA skills in their own time and without any confusion
* Didn't know about nightly tester tools and selenium
* Who's in charge of what? if I do have something specific I want to go into, still have to go through IRC to find out who to contact
* Where do I go to get info is no one is available on IRC? I had no idea Moz Wiki existed until someone linked me to it.

=== Bugs ===
* I tried to volunteer on work nights in the beginning, but no one was around to answer questions
* Bug Writing Guidelines
* Ended up waiting almost 2-3 weeks to help out before I was able to contact someone and that was when I searched for mozilla e-mails through the old QA website...and that was Jay
* Bug Triaging:
** Getting Bugzilla Permissions
** Querying for Unconfirmed Bugs
*** [link to QMO tutorial]
** Clean the Contents of a Bug
*** Understand the bug, look for duplicates, check the product & component & owner, Reproduce the bug, Ask for more info if not reproducible, Simplify the steps to reproduce if possible, Verify any platform requirements, Verify the summary, Verify security sensitivity, Regression windows
* Bug Useful Life Walkthrough
** choose an easy bug to walkthrough for beginners and an advanced bug walkthrough


=== QA Development ===
=== Forums ===
* Mozmill: Move already created directory into here. Revise if needed.
* A number of unanswered posts for days and weeks on end
* QAC:  Move file into this branch. Revise if needed.
** Maybe try an e-mail system to specified admins for that forum/thread?

* Keeping Up with Mozilla
* Vetting litmus tests was nice and simple as a starter task
* Help/FAQ: move current to this directory

** How and why are in-litmus bugs flagged?
** What's the difference between in-testsuite and in-litmus ? Should the user worry about it?

=== Post Mortem ===
* Sorting out Content Blocks, Test Days
* QMO Content Coalition: Is there a way to flag individual blog posts from planet mozilla and have those posted over to QMO's main blog posting area?
* Guide to Fx TestDays/BugDays
 
== Progress ==
 
== General Issues/Things to Consider ==
* Change Docs to Tutorials on left hand-side TOC
* Remove "Docs" from all of the menu items in the right-hand side tree
* Change names, in some cases, to appeal to outside users (try a survey? ..pass out during live sessions and/or online-surveys to those that are signed up to QMO)
* what's wrong with the tutorials already created on mdc and the wiki?
