| |
| − | Another good first-time docs task is to go to the bugs list at https://bugs.launchpad.net/openstack-manuals/+bugs and look at the new bugs. When you see a doc bug you know how to fix, comment in the bug how to fix the bug. Mark it "Triaged" and give it a status based on the [[Documentation/HowTo#Doc_Bug_Triaging_Guidelines|documentation bug triaging guidlines]]. If you're up for it, you can assign yourself the bug.
