The document discusses the Joomla Bug Squad (JBS), which consists of trackers, coders, and testers responsible for identifying and fixing errors in Joomla. Trackers create issues in the CMS tracker for reported bugs. Coders create patches for confirmed issues. Testers test pending issues. The document outlines the process and provides resources for setting up systems to work with the JBS, including version control and communications methods. It notes that anyone can submit patches or test issues without being a member, but membership is required to change issue statuses or submit patches for issues not originally reported.
