I would recommend working on bugs filled against KDE3 (and older if they 
still exist), and testing them for reproducibility against the current 
KDE-3.5 BRANCH.

We really need to clean up BugZilla and make sure that all valid bugs 
are reproducible and that all non-reproducible bugs are closed as such.

Currently, TRUNK is too unstable for you to bust bugs against it.  If 
something works in TRUNK today, it may not work next week.  So, make a 
list of the valid and reproducible KDE3 bugs that you have triaged and 
then when the KDE4 Betas and RCs come out, check to see if the bug 
exists in the current prerelease version of KDE4.  If so, upgrade the 
bug report to be against KDE4.  If not, then mark it fixed.  But, keep 
watch on it to make sure that it is still fixed in the release.
