Making Bugzilla work for both developers and non-developers
Over the course of three weeks, I adapted the default Bugzilla theme to improve the user experience and fit into the collection of ActiveState community sites.

Filing a Bug

Bug details
If a user navigates to a bug detail page from a list of bugs, a bar appears at the bottom of the screen which allows the user to quickly navigate through the bugs in that list. This is especially useful when one is triaging bugs.
