I want to help fix bugs

Hello Arch community,

I'm here because I would like to help any way that I can, but I just don't know how.  I've been using arch for close to 3 years now, and I'd like to get involved in the bug fixing process.   There seems to be a great amount of documentation in regards to properly reporting a bug, and on how to ask for help on the forums, but what I'm looking for is a basic way of getting started with the proactive process of fixing and testing bugs.  judging from the size of the bug list, and the new bug-squashing days, it sounds like all of the arch developers would like as much help as they can get with the ever increasing amount of bug reports and I am writing this post not only for my own guidance, but hopefully to encourage others to take part in the fixing process. 

thanks for any help, and I hope to do as much as I can.

Re: I want to help fix bugs

Just go in the bug tracker and see if you can reproduce or find a fix for bugs. There's also a rss feed for the bug tracker if you want to be informed of the new bugs:
