• Scan the Joomla! Bug Reporting Forum and Joomla! 2.5 Bug Reporting Forum for reported issues and help community members with solving these issues.
• Maintaining the [Version 1.5 Bug Tracker] and [CMS Issue Tracker] .
• Fix reported bugs and resolve reported issues according to the Bug Tracking Process.

Joomla! Bug Squad Communication

• The Bug Squad uses an ongoing Skype chat and a less busy IRC on Freenode: #joomla-bug-squad for interactive discussion (Web based Client, IRC cheat sheet). Once you are added to the squad a coordinator will include you in the Skype chat. By using IRC you can always stay in touch with JBS (see our calendar to know actual date and time of upcoming events):
  • Check JBS Office Hours and ask your questions to the JBS coordinators and team leaders.
  • Share your thoughts with others at the next JBS meetings.
• Calendar
• Mailing list
• Joomla! CMS Issue Tracker
• Coding style and standards
• Joomla! CMS Github Repository
• Joomla! CMS SVN Code Repository (Username: anonymous Password: not required)
