Hello,

Whenever I want do triaging I look at these lists:

http://tinyurl.com/5uxg9a Bugs with no package assigned
http://tinyurl.com/ydwayom New bugs
http://tinyurl.com/c7wok2e New security bugs

http://feeds.launchpad.net/ubuntu/latest-bugs.atom latests bugs

Or you could adopt a package you feel comfortable with and triage those bugs as soon as they get reported

Those are really good links, thanks! I have just bookmarked them.

Here's another really good one to keep an eye on:

http://tinyurl.com/bqqgc9b

That link shows NEW *or* CONFIRMED bugs (remember, 'confirmed' just
means that more than one person is affected; it still needs triaging),
sorted by oldest first, because it's kind of embarrassing how old some
of these untriaged bugs are...

Come on, guys! Only 97,706 untriaged bugs left to go! We can do it! ;)

Sometimes I find that the new/no-package bugs are not so easy to isolate to a package, so when I really want to make progress and try to get that number down below 97700, I take a slightly different approach. Maybe you can consider this option too: I pick packages that I am familiar with, use a lot, or have an interest in. I try to clean up the new bug list first, confirming, duping, and triaging if possible. After a few passes through the list you can usually make a dent in dupes and unconfirmed bugs. I'll then spend some time on older bugs, seeing if they've been fixed upstream or need more info.

Good luck!

In my experience bugs that have more details are more likely to be
successfully triaged and bugs reported via apport have lots of system
information added to them.  Additionally, apport automatically tags bug
reports when they are reported some of these tags include apport-bug,
apport-package, and apport-crash.  Subsequently, I would either search
for bugs with this tag or customize Launchpad's bug listing to show
tags.

Thanks and good luck!
