This mailing list is as good as any. It is better to avoid private discussions as others might also benefit from your discussion (ex:- when searching through archives). > This, of course, will involve filing bug reports, but I want > to make sure that those reports are filed on the appropriate packages and > with sufficient information to help in tracking down the problems. Use the reportbug tool to report bugs. That application will gather all the system level information, versions of installed dependencies etc., If you are unsure which package is responsible, a good starting point is to figure out a way to consistently reproduce the bug and then ask on this list. > I do not have a lot of time, unfortunately, to actually do much > debugging and/or patch developing, though I do have the programming skill > necessary to do such had I had the time and familiarity with the packages > involved.

AFAIK there is no dedicated group/forum that can help individual users on a one-on-one basis to debug problems. If you are willing to pay for this that is a different question! hope that helps raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi | http://raju.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Blog
