| Overview | Most projects have a backlog of bugs that need to be periodically “gardened.” Sometimes there are even old bugs that may have already been fixed that just haven’t been closed in the system. This module familiarizes students with bug gardening (/bug gardening) techniques, *and* helps the community by doing some of that gardening. |

Suggestions for the Open Source Project:
Your community should have specific expectations around [support] that are published [somewhere]. For example, if your code will only work on Fedora versions newer than 19, then specify that.
If there are a set of bugs that it would be more helpful to have someone verify, then marking those in some way would help the instructor.
