Dear all,

On the new homepage we wish to make it easy for our users to submit bug
reports.

How can we best do that ? I guess some of our users are not able to use
bugzilla.


Hello,

What are the reasons, that they are not able to use Bugzilla?

I'm still not able too.

Why?

* I block my self. Not active enough to search through the documentation. A little bit lazy? Procrastinator?
* Untrained how to search for it.
* Uncertain about the technical wording in the existing documentation
* uneasy, because the bug could be my own fault, e.g. typo

I'm a retired chemist not a teacher and not an IT-expert.

Every body who is so intelligent to use open source should be apt and willing to be trained.

So my suggestion is: try to adapt to by smoothing the learning curve.for bug reporting to the needs of this special group.

Give them the link not to deliver the message to a special URL, but to a special sort of additional documentation.

So, and I will try to solve that for me as well. may be, I can give some suggestions, where I needed more help.

Thanks for your work. I try to organize support for the SoftwareWorldFreedomDay on the 19th of September. We will have some lectures and an InstallParty2009, where we will talk about Skolelinux as well.

Regards!

Uwe
