------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Jan 6 07:43:26 +0000 2008 ------- Summary: Current bug reporting web interface is completely counter-intuitive, counter-productive, and probably detrimental to the poor devs. Manifestations may include but are not limited to: * Seasoned geeks are unable to even find the 'proceed' link to register a bug report, despite having registered several before. * Completely unintuitive and hyper-technical for usage. This leaves developers with: 1) Under reported bugs due to painful interface by users. 2) Poorly registered bugs as a result of complex and strange selection boxes. 3) No redundancy check in bug topics / summaries resulting in duplicate bug reports and laborious triaging. 4) Wormy snakelike http path to even get registered to file a bug report. Predictable net loss for developers as end users will be unable to traverse the path. 5) Complete inability for mainstream users to post serious bug reports. This has been tested on at least two individuals of estimated mainstream abilities. Frequency: Always (5/5 trials for manifestations) Reproduction: Attempt to create a user account on OpenOffice.org. Attempt to register a bug. Attempt to maintain sanity while performing step one and two. Workarounds / Solutions: Seriously considering a bug tracker migration might help to not only increase viable bug report but also reduce wasted developer time. Consider the very real byproduct that a large project such as Inkscape as experienced over an extremely short period of time having migrated to Launchpad: http://www.bryceharrington.org/drupal/node/18 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
