"Reporting a feature" sounds odd. What about sticking to "issues" as a more general term? On Mit 07 Mai 2014 12:58:59 CEST, Nathan Woodrow wrote: > Are we able to change that wording to "Report bugs or features"? > > - Nathan > > > On Wed, May 7, 2014 at 8:57 PM, Anita Graser

Re: [Qgis-developer] Report bug/feature on homepage

All good. Never once have we had a problem. Because the process means you need to create an account, login, then report issue, it weeds out any non-serious reports (the "feedback" form idea would be full of those "non-serious" reports I worry; people who report then you never hear from them again

Re: [Qgis-developer] Report bug/feature on homepage

It was me who years ago put "Issue Tracker" on the MapServer homepage beside the Download link. I think you/we must remember this is about the new users, about helping them tell developers the problems they are having; a link to "Github" means absolutely nothing to a new user, and if it is hidden

Re: [Qgis-developer] Report bug/feature on homepage

Hi guys, +1 for top of "get involved" page But to avoid the massive reporting bug we can write in the page a suggestion to the users, they need to ask first in one of the mailing list (qgis-user, qgis-developer) instead reporting right away the bug. In this scenario, user ask first in the mailin

Re: [Qgis-developer] Report bug/feature on homepage

There's a reason some projects choose to call them issues and not bugs (translations vary). I agree you can put a link on the front page to info about issues, but I would avoid a comment box - that will get hit by spam bots and then becomes another places people have to check. Thanks, Alex On 05/

Re: [Qgis-developer] Report bug/feature on homepage

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 On 2014/05/02 08:44,

Re: [Qgis-developer] Report bug/feature on homepage

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-fre

Re: [Qgis-developer] Report bug/feature on homepage

Too many vague or un-researched bug reports. People filing bugs instead of googling the problem or even reading the manual. Lets just go with the average user might not understand when the right place is the mailing or stackexchange vs filing a bug. Those other methods of communication allow true b

Re: [Qgis-developer] Report bug/feature on homepage

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 Ani

Re: [Qgis-developer] Report bug/feature on homepage

There's an interesting question. Should step one be get on the mailing list and verify bug? Or will the onerous nature of having to get an account keep out people who don't want to put in enough effort for a good bug report? Trade-offs, but +1 on making it more obvious how to start on the path to

[Qgis-developer] Report bug/feature on homepage

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 ju
