+></H1
+><P
+> This document was started on September 17, 2000 by Matthew P.
+ Barnson after a great deal of procrastination updating the
+ Bugzilla FAQ, which I left untouched for nearly half a year.
+ After numerous complete rewrites and reformatting, it is the
+ document you see today.
+ </P
+><P
+> Despite the lack of updates, Bugzilla is simply the best piece
+ of bug-tracking software the world has ever seen. This document
+ is intended to be the comprehensive guide to the installation,
+ administration, maintenance, and use of the Bugzilla
+ bug-tracking system.
+ </P
+><P
+> This release of the Bugzilla Guide is the
+ <EM
+>2.14.0</EM
+> release. It is so named that it
+ may match the current version of Bugzilla. The numbering
+ tradition stems from that used for many free software projects,
+ in which <EM
+>even-numbered</EM
+> point releases (1.2,
+ 1.14, etc.) are considered "stable releases", intended for
+ public consumption; on the other hand,
+ <EM
+>odd-numbered</EM
+> point releases (1.3, 2.09,
+ etc.) are considered unstable <EM
+>development</EM
+>
+ releases intended for advanced users, systems administrators,
+ developers, and those who enjoy a lot of pain.
+ </P
+><P
+> Newer revisions of the Bugzilla Guide follow the numbering
+ conventions of the main-tree Bugzilla releases, available at
+ <A
+HREF="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bugzilla"
+TARGET="_top"
+>http://www.mozilla.org/projects/bugzilla</A
+>. Intermediate releases will have
+ a minor revision number following a period. The current version
+ of Bugzilla, as of this writing (August 10, 2001) is 2.14; if
+ something were seriously wrong with that edition of the Guide,
+ subsequent releases would receive an additional dotted-decimal
+ digit to indicate the update (2.14.0.1, 2.14.0.2, etc.).
+ Got it? Good.
+ </P
+><P
+> I wrote this in response to the enormous demand for decent
+ Bugzilla documentation. I have incorporated instructions from
+ the Bugzilla README, Frequently Asked Questions, Database Schema
+ Document, and various mailing lists to create it. Chances are,
+ there are glaring errors in this documentation; please contact
