"Bugs" section on Community board

Post by luowy »

I'd like have a "bugs" section on Community board like Center does:
1,receive bugs report from Community;
2,get help from Community;
I receive a bug report from the maillist,but it's deleted with other junk mail accidently.

It is possible to do this.
However there is the link there "Open issues tracker at GitHub". I thought that people will use it.
That do other Center members think about this?

I think luowy's suggestion is a good one.

I see two problems with this:
1 - The link does not include either of the words "Bug" or "Report". This problem could be easily fixed, but currently it is not immediately obvious that this is what the link is intended for.
2 - After you use the link it is not clear (to me) what you do next. There is no long list of previous bugs, so you can copy the previous format when reporting your new bug. It just seems like yet another complicated system to learn. Ok, if you use it a lot I have no doubt the system is good, but for 1-off, or very occasional use, it is just intimidating.

So, at the moment, I agree with luowy.

I made category "Report" and forums "Bug", "Issue", "Documentation".
