12## What Needs Work
13
14Look at the Chromium bug tracker for
15[open Linux issues](http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list?can=2&q=os%3Alinux).
16
17Issues marked "Available" are ready for someone to claim. To claim an issue, add
18a comment and then a project member will mark it "Assigned". If none of the
19"Available" issues seem appropriate, you may be able to help an already claimed
20("Assigned" or "Started") issue, but you'll probably want to coordinate with the
21claimants, to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort.
22
23Issues marked with HelpWanted are a good place to start.

25### New Bugs
26
27If you think you have discovered a new Linux bug, start by
28[searching for similar issues](http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list?can=1&q=Linux).
29When you search, make sure you choose the "All Issues" option, since your bug
30might have already been fixed, but the default search only looks for open
31issues. If you can't find a related bug, please create a
32[New Issue](https://crbug.com/new). Use the linux defect template.
