As the title says, I think people should set the Ubuntu buglist (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.searchtext=&orderby=-datecreated&search=Search&field.status%3Alist=NEW&field.status%3Alist=INCOMPLETE_WITH_RESPONSE&field.status%3Alist=CONFIRMED&field.status%3Alist=TRIAGED&field.status%3Alist=INPROGRESS&field.status%3Alist=FIXCOMMITTED&field.assignee=&field.bug_reporter=&field.omit_dupes=on&field.has_patch=&field.has_no_package=) (ordered newest first) as their homepage. This way, if anyone encounters a bug that they can help on - whether it be assigning a package, marking a duplicate, or just telling the reporter that there is no actual bug and that they should visit ubuntuforums.org. It would be marvelous if we had more people participating in bug triaging.

As a precursor of course everyone should read about bug triaging before actually doing so. Here are some resources:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingUbiquity
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Status
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Responses

Moderators: Please move this to the Development Forums if you feel it is more suitable there.

There's a sticky thread in the development forum with the same links and more info, so it's not really needed there; it's more helpful if some people who frequent Community Cafe but don't frequent the development forum see it here.

Another good way to catch bug reports as they come is to join the #ubuntu-bugs channel in irc.freenode.net, where a bot automatically posts summaries of and links to new bugs in real time.

Also, people who do bug triaging should join the Bug Squad (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BugSquad) on Launchpad, as well as the ubuntu-bugsquad mailing list:

An update: Launchpad's bug tracker module now features Atom feeds. You can subscribe to feeds of bugs related to any distribution, project, team and person, as well as individual bugs, in your feed aggregator.

The feed for all Ubuntu bugs is http://feeds.launchpad.net/ubuntu/latest-bugs.atom.
