If this is not already documented at wiki[1], it would be great if you
would update a page, or maybe create a "getting started" page. Let us know

I keep my todo lists public (Bugzilla[2] account is needed to view the
lists):

- list of all QA related bugs[3]
- list of QA related bugs tagged "easy"[4]
- list of bugs that I am currently working on[5]
