 Here's what to do to confirm a new defect report:
 
  1. First, assign the report to yourself by setting your Bugzilla username (your email address) in the "QA Contact" field.
- 1. Then read over the report.  What are they really saying?  Are the reporting a bug?  Asking for a new feature?  Asking a support question?  Just because it is in Bugzilla

  does not mean that it is a defect report.  
  1. Ask yourself:  Are they saying that something is working incorrectly?  Or are they asking for new functionality?
 If they are asking for a new feature, change the Issue Type field to "FEATURE".  If they are asking for an enhancement of an existing feature, set the Issue Type field to "ENHANCEMENT".
 You can now set the Status to CONFIRMED and then save your changes.  You are done with the report.  
- 1. Search Bugzilla to see if this is a duplicate defect report.  If it is, change the Status to RESOLVED, DUPLICATE and type in the defect number that this report is a duplicate of.

+ 1. Otherwise, search Bugzilla for keywords related to the bug report to see if this is a duplicate defect report.  If it is, change the Status to RESOLVED/DUPLICATE and type in

      1. If the report is actually reporting a defect, then you have more work to do.  Try to reproduce it with the latest release of OpenOffice. If you can reproduce the defect, 
      set the Status to CONFIRMED, set the "Last Confirmation" field to the release that you tested with, and set the Importance field to an appropriate value, depending on the severity 
      of the defect.

      their response and can continue with this report.  But for now you are done with this report.
-     1. If you testing cannot reproduce the bug, and you *do not* need more information from the user, then change the status to RESOLVED/IRREPRODUCIBLE.

 Finally, think of the confirmation process as the opportunity for the QA Team to improve the value of information we receive from users.  We're taking the raw bug reports,
 sorting through them, eliminating the ones that do not report new bugs, and then passing on the good ones to the programmers.  So anything you can do to improve the quality
