| 10 | ## What Needs Work |
| 11 | |
| 12 | Look at the Chromium bug tracker for open Linux issues: |
| 13 | http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list?can=2&q=os%3Alinux |
| 14 | |
| andybons | ad92aa3 | 2015-08-31 02:27:44 | [diff] [blame^] | 15 | Issues marked "Available" are ready for someone to claim. To claim an issue, add |
| 16 | a comment and then a project member will mark it "Assigned". If none of the |
| 17 | "Available" issues seem appropriate, you may be able to help an already claimed |
| 18 | ("Assigned" or "Started") issue, but you'll probably want to coordinate with the |
| 19 | claimants, to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort. |

| 21 | Issues marked with HelpWanted are a good place to start. |

| 24 | |
| andybons | ad92aa3 | 2015-08-31 02:27:44 | [diff] [blame^] | 25 | If you think you have discovered a new Linux bug, start by |
| 26 | [searching for similar issues](http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list?can=1&q=Linux). |
| 27 | When you search, make sure you choose the "All Issues" option, since your bug |
| 28 | might have already been fixed, but the default search only looks for open |
| 29 | issues. If you can't find a related bug, please create a |
| 30 | [New Issue](https://crbug.com/new). Use the linux defect template. |
