Thanks Ankur! Abhay, in addition to what Ankur said, sadly the
Bugzappers project is quite quiet / dormant at present. So if you're
looking for an easy place to start where others will give you active
help, it might be best to pick one of the other things listed on the
QA/Join page that Ankur linked to. They're listed roughly in order of
'difficulty' - so 'Reporting bugs in Fedora releases', 'Joining Test
Days', and 'Testing official updates before they are released' are
relatively easy things to get started with. You might want to take a
look at those options as easy ways to get involved. You can always ask
any questions you have here or in #fedora-qa on IRC. Thanks for
volunteering! (Matthew Wilmott, many thanks to you too, and the above
also applies).
