<!-- Coding standards for this document 

*  Other than the GFDL, please use the "section" tag instead of "sect1", "sect2", etc.
*  Use Entities to include files for new chapters in Bugzilla-Guide.sgml.
*  Try to use Entities for frequently-used passages of text as well.
*  Ensure all documents compile cleanly to HTML after modification.
The warning, "DTDDECL catalog types not supported" is normal.
*  Try to index important terms wherever possible.
*  Use "glossterm" whenever you introduce a new term.
*  Follow coding standards at http://www.linuxdoc.org, and
check out the KDE guidelines (they are nice, too)
http://i18n.kde.org/doc/markup.html
*  All tags should be lowercase (needsfix)
*  Please use sensible spacing.  The comments at the very end of each
file define reasonable defaults for PSGML mode in EMACS.
Double-indent tags, use double spacing whenever possible, and
try to avoid clutter and feel free to waste space in the code to make it more readable.

	<revremark>
	  Converted the README, FAQ, and DATABASE information into
	  SGML docbook format.

      <revision>
	<revnumber>2.11.1</revnumber>
	<date>06 March 2001</date>
	<authorinitials>MPB</authorinitials>
	<revremark>
	  Took way too long to revise this for 2.12 release. Updated
	  FAQ to use qandaset tags instead of literallayout, cleaned
	  up administration section, added User Guide section,
	  miscellaneous FAQ updates and third-party integration
	  information. From this point on all new tags are lowercase
	  in preparation for the 2.13 release of the Guide in XML
	  format instead of SGML.
	</revremark>

      <revision>
	<revnumber>2.12.0</revnumber>
	<date>24 April 2001</date>
	<authorinitials>MPB</authorinitials>
	<revremark>
	  Things fixed this release: Elaborated on queryhelp
	  interface, added FAQ regarding moving bugs from one keyword
	  to another, clarified possible problems with the Landfill
	  tutorial, fixed a boatload of typos and unclear sentence
	  structures.  Incorporated the README into the UNIX
	  installation section, and changed the README to indicate the
	  deprecated status.  Things I know need work:  Used
	  "simplelist" a lot, where I should have used "procedure" to
	  tag things.  Need to lowercase all tags to be XML compliant.

	<revnumber>2.14.0</revnumber>
	<date>07 August 2001</date>
	<authorinitials>MPB</authorinitials>
	<revremark>
	  Attempted to integrate relevant portions of the UNIX and
	  Windows installation instructions, moved some data from FAQ
	  to Install, removed references to README from text, added
	  Mac OS X install instructions, fixed a bunch
	  of tpyos (Mark Harig), linked text that referenced other
	  parts of the Guide, and nuked the old MySQL permissions
	  section.

	This is the documentation for Bugzilla, the Mozilla
	bug-tracking system.

      <para>
	Bugzilla is an enterprise-class set of software utilities
	that, when used together, power issue-tracking for hundreds of
	organizations around the world, tracking millions of bugs.
	While it is easy to use and quite flexible, it is very
	difficult for a novice to install and maintain.  Although we
	have provided step-by-step directions, Bugzilla is not always
	easy to get working.  Please be sure the person responsible
	for installing and maintaining this software is a qualified
	professional on operating system upon which you install
	Bugzilla.
