I was talking about topic [4] last week, if I could add to my triage list the same component that other Triager already have, this could be point for next bugzappers meeting?

- ActiveTriagers and Components List ( who work where )

    1.) In an effort to start cleanup, I merged
    [[BugZappers/GettingStarted]] into [[BugZappers/Joining]] and cleaned
    up links from the front page.  [[BugZappers/HelpWanted]] should also
    be trimmed and merged in there.

    I also renamed [[BugZappers/TakingAction]] to [[BugZappers/How to
    Triage]], so it has a clearer purpose.


    2.) The subpages under [[BugZappers/HouseKeeping#Task_Breakdown]]
    should probably be merged into the master page.


    3.) [[BugZappers/components]] and [[BugZappers/FindingBugs]] are both
    serving the dual purpose of tracking what needs to be worked on and
    providing links to BugZilla to find bugs that need work.  Any
    objections to merging to [[BugZappers/Tracking]]?


    4.) [[BugZappers/Joining]] and [[BugZappers/ActiveTriagers]] have
    somewhat contradictory advice:

     "This does mean certain components are reserved. If you are
     unfamiliar with a component and someone is very active there, it is
     probably a good idea to pick a different component."

    vs.

     "It is okay for more than one person to cover the same component"

     We need to have clearer advice.

    I also see that [[BugZappers/Special Procedures]] has a note arguing
    that special opt-outs for certain developers are not scalable

    I think it would actually be a good idea if we took the list at
    [[BugZappers/components]] and merged in the list of people who are
    working on a particular component.  (Adding a second list for non
    "key" components if people are claiming those.)  The clearest
    indication for new triagers would be to add a column to indicate for
    each column whether or not more help is wanted for that component
    ("Yes") or if the existing triagers or developers think they have it
    covered ("No").  But there are other ways to present this information.


    5.) As for the other content on [[BugZappers/Special Procedures]],
    [[BugZappers/How to Triage]] is the main instruction page, but we also
    have [[BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow]] and lots of advice on
    [[BugsAndFeatureRequests]] (which is oriented toward bug filers, not
    bug triagers).

    Clearly we need the One True List of Things Every Bug Should Have,
    which filers should supply and triagers will request if they don't.
    (This varies by component, and type of bug - e.g. crashes
    vs. misspellings vs. feature requests.)  The ASSIGNED section of
    [[BugZappers/BugStatusWorkFlow]] has some of that info, which can be
    removed and replaced with a link to the canonical place.
    BugStatusWorkFlow can then just be an explanation of Bugzilla states.

    [[BugZappers/How to Triage]] and [[BugsAndFeatureRequests]] then need
    to be harmonized and streamlined.  This is the crux of the problem of
    making a minimal set of instructions that bug filers and triagers
    can actually follow.


    6.) [[BugZappers/Meetings]] and the front page don't mention that
    Triage Days are held immediately after meetings.  Has that been
    decided for certain?

    -B.

My understanding has been that yes you can triage components that someone else has chosen. For greatest triage impact it would be best to choose components not already chosen, however, triage components you feel most comfortable with.

This may change after the meeting Tuesday. I believe this is the correct answer for now though. I know you've asked this question a number of times now and not really received an answer.
