Louis, Andreas, I have added an article to the Wiki yesterday, and I added some of Louis' suggestions today: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/How_to_file_a_bug_report If you think something should be clearer, please correct or extend it. I suggest to add a link to all articles in the docs that link to the bug tracker. Something like "Before filing a bug, please read the Wiki article". Cheers, Christoph
