Hi Charlotte,
The intention of putting issue reporting there is to create information that’s
*actionable* for the (primarily Mapbox) folks who maintain and develop iD. That
way problems are automatically linked to solutions. As you can tell, I gently
disagree with your assessment of github’s utility. I’m not a developer but I
find it really useful for communicating to developers, who, after all, are the
ones to fix things.
That being said, could you maybe explain how Github is poor for reporting
issues with iD? If you can maybe explain your frustrations further we can
understand how to either better explain Github to new users *or* create new
processes that better match your needs as a user. I’m not opposed to the latter
but I would hope to give Github a shot instead of inventing yet another process.
Cheers,
Robert
