Q: Can I help?
-A: But of course. Just find something that's bugging you and fix it.
-There are a slew of a bug reports in Gaim's bug report tracker - you could
-pick one and try to tackle it and submit a patch. You could also help
-with general bug triage by going through the bug reports and leaving
-comments such as "this has been fixed" or "this is a duplicate of bug
-#12345." As always, make sure you follow the same coding style used in
-Gaim, and make sure you don't break the core/UI split.
+A: Yes! We especially need small patches for small bugs, and lots of
+bug triaging. There are a slew of a bug reports in Gaim's bug report
+tracker - you could pick one and try to tackle it and submit a patch.
+We love patches.
+Bug triaging is when you look at a bug report and determine whether it
+is a duplicate of an earlier report, or whether it is user error, or
+maybe you need to request additional information to be able to reproduce
+the bug. SourceForge won't let random users modify the settings on bugs,
+but if you leave helpful comments we can go through and make the
+appropriate changes. <a
