When it comes to providing feedback bug-buddy seems to me like the right place to put this. You could expand bug buddy and allow users to optionally include various bits of additional meta data or other survey information. I used the Netscape Talkback tool extensively for several years and before you chose send it included nice checklist of exactly what information you were willing to include in the report so I think it is something users wont mind. - Alan H. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
