Participating in triage sprints
===============================

Each sprint discussion thread has a number of threads with batches of issues to test. To participate, please claim a
batch by commenting on its thread (if it is free). Please don't start working on a batch without claiming it,
even if you are unsure if you can finish all the issues in time, to avoid duplicating work. If you have finished a batch,
and are interested in doing more and feel you have the time to complete one more, you can claim a second batch if there
are any open batches. But please claim only **one** batch at a time.

Please ask any questions or updates about issues relating to a batch in the thread of that batch.

Sprint steps
------------

- Read through the issue conversation and see if there's some pending request, for example someone asking for an MRP or clarification.

- If there is, and the information is still missing, please comment with the issue report link in the batch thread and we will close it
due to inactivity. This might apply even if the thread has replies after the request if those replies do not provide the necessary information.
If you are unsure please comment in the batch thread and we will evaluate it.

- Confirm that the report is filled in correctly, that all the necessary details are available.

- If something is missing, please comment on the issue asking for more information, or comment in the batch thread with the issue
report link and we will do it.

- See if you recognize this issue from somewhere else, it might be a duplicate.

- If it is a duplicate, please comment on the issue linking to the (possible) duplicate, or comment in the batch thread.

- Test the issue if you are able.

- If the issue is specific to some platform or hardware you do not have, comment with the issue report link in the sprint
discussion (**not** in the batch thread but the main sprint discussion), and create a thread under it, and someone else can
test it if they are able.
- Otherwise report the result of testing it on the issue itself, including what version(s) you tested it on and other details
such as OS, hardware, etc. This includes if you are unable to confirm the issue. If you are unsure if you followed the steps
correctly, or if they end up being unclear when you try to test the issue, please comment asking for clarification.

If you need help updating any details on the issue, such as fixing the title, any tags or trackers, etc., please tag the person organizing the sprint
in an issue comment, or ask in the batch thread.

When you are done with the batch please comment in the batch thread. You can report the result of your triage as you go through them or at the end,
but please make it clear when you are done so we can go through and check the issues, and know when the sprint is done.
