gEDA/gaf uses <a href="http://launchpad.net" class="urlextern" title="http://launchpad.net"  rel="nofollow">Launchpad</a> for bug and feature request tracking - the gEDA landing page is <a href="http://bugs.launchpad.net/geda" class="urlextern" title="http://bugs.launchpad.net/geda"  rel="nofollow"> here</a>.
</p>

<p>
Newly filed bugs and feature requests must be triaged periodically by the developers and others close to the project, in order to progress them smoothly through development and avoid them getting stuck.
</p>

<p>
Anyone who wants to help triage bugs for the community, please apply to
