-==== The Problem ====
+%%FreeBSD%% has a way for users to submit [[https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/query.cgi|Problem Reports]].  This page gives an introduction to what happens next.  (If you're not familiar with how to write a good Problem Report, please [[http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/|start here]].)
-Currently we are not doing as well at handling Problem Reports as we could.  So, how can we fix this?
+There is also a good, although slightly out-of-date, reference on how we expect %%FreeBSD%% committers to
+[[http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/pr-guidelines/|handle PRs]].
-The main problem is that we have more PRs coming in than we have volunteers working on fixing them.  This is due to several reasons:
+Note: we are still learning as we are going!
-  * we have no "culture" of bugbusting.
+==== Places To Start ====
-  * other things that I need to preview XXX EDIT HERE
-==== Resources ====
+  * [[BugBusting/Resources]]
-  * the bugmeister team, bugmeister@%%FreeBSD%%.org (responsible for the maintenance of the database and associated code)
+If you are unfamiliar with bugbusting on %%FreeBSD%%, this is where you should start; in particular, the Web Resources section.  (Yes, there is a lot of detail on that page; you may wish to simply browse it.)
-  * weekly postings of bug summaries to freebsd-bugs@%%FreeBSD%%.org (including overall, PRs by tag, PRs with patches)
-  * weekly posting of "PRs recommended for committer evaluation" to freebsd-bugs@%%FreeBSD%%.org
+  * [[Bugathons]]
-  * weekly reminders of assigned PRs, to each assignee
-  * auto-assignment of ports PRs (run by ["EdwinGroothuis"])
+Bugathons are events where we get people to join us on IRC on #freebsd-bugbusters on EFNet at a specific time.  We try to go through the current PRs and close as many of them as we can.  Watching one of these in progress is a good way to learn how we approach things.
-  * freebsd-bugbusters# IRC channel on EFNet
+  * [[BugBusting/HowToHelp]]
+This suggests some ideas on how you can help.  It includes information for both committers and non-committers.
+  * [[BugBusting/Volunteers]]
+This is our sign-up list for the Bugathons (and bugbusting in general).  It tries to be a central place to find out who is active and what their interests and expertise are.  Feel free to send information to linimon@%%FreeBSD%%.org if you would like to join us.
+==== Further Information ====
+  * [[BugBusting/StateOfBugbusting]]
+This page talks about the state of bugbusting on %%FreeBSD%%, and discusses ideas for how we can improve.
+  * [[BugBusting/TipsAndTricks]]
