The preferred tool for bug reporting is `ubuntu-bug`. Run `ubuntu-bug 
<packagename>` (replacing <packagename> with the name of the apt package 
containing the software that has the bug) to get started with filing a 
bug report. You will need an Ubuntu One account to report bugs.

(If you're having a hard time figuring out which package has what 
software, feel free to join the #edubuntu IRC channel on Libera.Chat 
using your favorite IRC client and ask for help figuring out what's wrong.)

That would be a question for Eickmeyer (who is in the #edubuntu channel) 
but I don't think there are any specific testing checklists.

Probably - new features generally need tested to make sure they don't 
break existing features, and to make sure the new features aren't broken 
themselves. Monitoring the #edubuntu channel on Libera.Chat is probably 
the best way to see what's going on in that world.

Thanks for your interest in helping! Hopefully something I was able to 
say here will be of some use to you.
