Hiya,
What about a link saying "Think you've found a bug?"
That then sends the user to a separate page which gives guidance that
you want to give the user, AND also a box saying "Paste a short error
message here"
This is then sent off to google for them.
Regards,
Zoltan

My main objections to having a "report bugs" button on the main page:
- I think users who are not too familiar with the workings of open
source projects will be alarmed why we think it necessary to add a
"report bugs" button right next to the "download" button. They want
(the illusion? of) bug-free software (even if there is no such thing).
- I want to avoid cluttering of the homepage.
- I also think Randal has a point when he says that some small hurdle
can help keep the number of not-so-helpful bug reports down.
+1 for top of "get involved" page.

But if that doesn't feel right then I think we should raise it to the top of
get involved page.

Hi,
I saw the discussion you had. I would prefer not to add a report bugs
button on the first page of qgis.org but we could make it more prominent on
get involved.
It's not that long since I added the report a bug section to get involved.
Many users might only remember the old page.
Best wishes
Anita

Hi all,
After talking to some users one concern they raised was it was a bit
tricky to get find how to report a bug or feature. I was thinking it might
be a good idea to have a report bug/feature on the homepage. It would fit
quite nice between the Download and Support
I am aware that you can just click Get Involved, and scroll to the bottom
but it still feels a bit hidden.
Does anyone else feel that same way?
Regards,
Nathan
