== Bug Helper ==

Bughelper and its components are tools used by the BugSquad to facilitate triaging bugs and share knowledge about bugs.  Learn more at ["BugHelper"].

== Mailing lists ==

Almost all activity in Malone is relayed to a mailing list, [http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs ubuntu-bugs]. You should subscribe to this list if you want to be notified about new bugs and what people are doing to existing ones.

However, it gets ''a lot'' of mail.  If you just want to read about new bugs that were filed, you want the following [:Procmail] script.  You should have the `INBOX` variable declared to point to the appropriate mailbox {{{

== Bug bot ==

Nowadays we simply use Malone and our Bug bot works like this:
