>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.</TD

>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.</TD

>&#13;	This is the documentation for Bugzilla, the Mozilla
	bug-tracking system.
      </P
><P
>&#13;	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
	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 for the operating system upon which you install
	Bugzilla.
