Helping out in the forums is a great way to contribute to MeeGo. We need help from both non-technical and technical users!

Contents

Specific Urgent Tasks

  • Overall Community FAQ: We've started creating a MeeGo FAQ for the MeeGo community with answers to questions like how to file a bug, etc.
  • Day 1 Handset FAQ: We still need a FAQ with common questions and issues in using the code from the Day 1 Handset Release. We can use the MeeGo 1.0 Netbook FAQ as a model.

General Non-Technical Tasks

  • Answer General Questions: Help people find basic information about MeeGo and answers to frequently asked questions (MeeGo FAQ).
  • Ask Clarifying Questions: For technical questions where people fail to provide any details, the first step is to ask them what kind of system they are running on (processor / graphics card) and make / model of any components they mention (USB / 3G).
  • Contribute to the FAQ: People post answers to common problems in the forum. We always need help getting those suggestions moved over to a FAQ in the wiki.
  • Help File Bugs: Many users are intimidated by filing bugs, and you can help some novice users by filing bugs.

Technical Tasks

  • Answer Technical Questions: Help users work through and solve technical issues. In many cases, you can start by asking some pointed questions to make sure that the person submits enough information.
  • Write FAQ Answers: Look for common issues in the forum and write your solution in the FAQ.
  • Refine Bug Reports: When you see people filing bugs, see if you can reproduce it and add more details / logs to the bug reports.
