Open bugs
We have almost 1000 open bugs on mantis. There's not enough devs to sort through all of them, but you can help.
First thing is to keep track of all the bugs you have reported. Sometimes bugs are fixed but the mantis issue remains open. So at least for the reproducible ones, test from time to time to see if they have been fixed (learn to use wizmode). Provide more information or a savefile when possible.
If you really want to help, you don't have to limit yourself to the bugs you've reported, feel free to test and comment on others. If they are really old, not reproducible and haven't been seen for a while, then we should probably just close them. Add a note if you find one like that.
And of course, actually fixing bugs is even better. If you know C++ or want to learn, fixing bugs is a great way to learn about crawl's code and a simple way to contribute.
Thanks for your help.
