Juan,

Thank you for wanting to help.  You need to use the "+ Selection Criteria"
expansion menu and then set the criteria for "Open" bugs.

To do so, first open the Bugs web page on savannah.  At the top are a
series of links, "Main", "Homepage", "Download", etc.  To the left of the
link "Main", you will see the word "Group".  Just under that will be "+
Selection Criteria".  Click to open,  In the "Open/Closed" listbox, select
only "Open" and then hit Apply button on the far right.

Now you will see only bugs which are still Open.
