 '''Q''': I don't have a lot of programming experience.[[BR]]
 '''A''': No problem, '''not every bug requires programming''' to fix.  Some bugs concern documentation or copyright issues, and anyone willing to track stuff down and write in English precisely can help.  You'll still get experience with the issues software in the real world has to deal with, and probably read some code along the way.
