Line 1:
−==Chapter 1. Finding Answers==+Ideally most of the information you need to run and configure your server will be in the manual
−If something you need isn't, work your way down the resources that follow.
−If it's appropriate, you can add the material to the wiki, if unsure ask.
−
−===Manuals===
−[[SME_Server:Documentation| Four Manuals]]
−are being written, for the User, Administrator, Technician and Developer.
−
−===Bug Tracker===
−Find, report and fix bugs here http://bugs.contribs.org/
−
−You don't have to be a programmer to help or use the bug tracker.
−Bugs also include fixing things and making suggestions on documentation, translations and the SME Server web sites.
−
−General Instructions for using the bug Tracker are here [http://www.bugzilla.org/docs/tip/html/using.html Using Bugzilla]
−
−'''Searching for bugs'''
−To help find bugs, some prepared searches have been added in page headers, with more [[SME_Server:Documentation:HowTo:BugzillaReports | BugzillaReports]] here
−
−1. Simple search <br />
−At the top of the search page choose 'Find a specific bug' <br />
−Select a Status and a Product category and enter your search term <br />
−
−2. Advanced search <br />
−At the top of the search page choose 'Advanced search'
−
−You can restrict searches by using a selection or multiple selections of a category <br />
−Use Control Click to select/deselect from selection sets, if none are selected all are.
−
−typically you may restrict Product to use '7.x/Future/Documentation' <br />
−and enter a search term into either 'Summary' or 'A Comment'
−
−eg. Status = CLOSED, Resolution = WONTFIX, Summary = yum <br />
−will return about 7 bugs
−
−eg. Status = CLOSED, Resolution = WONTFIX, A Comment = yum <br />
−will return about 17 bugs
−
−*Modifying your search
−
−- Click on the hyperlinked headers to sort your list
−
−- Click 'Edit Search' near the page footer
−* you can adjust your selection sets
−* add a search tern in the summary or comments fields
−* restrict the dates, eg between 365d and Now the last year, 60d and 7d from 2months ago but not the last week
−* bugs you are working on or watching, add you email address to the left field in email and numbering and check cc:, commenter, etc
−
−- If you have a favourite search,
−* when the bug list is displaying, add a name in the Remember field, these will show in your footer
−* add the search to the [[SME_Server:Documentation:HowTo:BugzillaReports | BugzillaReports]] page
−
−
−see [[SME_Server:Documentation:Technical_Manual:Chapter2#Bug_and_New_Feature_Verification | Chapter2 - Bug and New Feature Verification]]

−
−===Forums===
−Currently here http://wiki.contribs.org/
−
−There is an enormous amount of information here, a search can often find just the answer you are after.
−You can also find outdated, misinformed or wrong information.
−
−The aim should be to transfer valuable information into the Manual or a Howto (with a link in the Howto List)
−
−If you can't find the information you are after then post to the forum which is full of friendly helpful people
−If applicable, document your answer in the wiki, so it becomes a definitive answer and not just another hit on a search
−
−===How To's===
−HowTo's are documents to solve a particular problem
−There is a list of [[SME_Server:Documentation:HowTo | HowTos here]]
−
−===F.A.Q.===
−[[SME_Server:Documentation:FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]]
−
−This page is to be used to document problems that cannot or will not be fixed through development of SME7.
−If a problem is fixed it should be moved into the Manual or a Howto.
−
−
−===Email Lists===
−There are a number of lists available to join at http://lists.contribs.org/mailman/listinfo
−
−List descriptions and email archives are available.
−
−
−===Old Wikis===
