Unfortunately there is no server-side scripting available apart from the
predefined ones.
And I doubt we well be able to modify the existing ones.

I definitely prefer the multiple steps one.

Don't nail me on the wording, just to get the idea....

Page one: type of bug 
 * crash
 * unwanted behaviour
 * bug in translation/typo
 * bug in documentation
 * feature request/request for enhancement
 ----
 * problems with the infrastructure (www, mailing-lists,...)

Page two: part one: Product selection (if possible, limit the choices
depending on the choice before/show different pages depending on selection)
 * Wordprocessor
 * Spreadsheet
 [...]
 * webpages
 * mailing list
 * cvs
 [...]
 * NL-projects

Page two: part two (offer choices depending on the choice above)
 * open/import
 * save/export
 [...]

Page three: Version information and Operating System (may skip that in
case of website/ML issues)
 * Version of OOo
 * Operating System

Page four: Bug-description
 * Entry box for summary
 * multiple entry-boxes for 
   * short description
   * steps to repdoruce
   * actual/expected results
   * additonal information
 * field to upload attachment/sample (probably has to be on a fifth page
   since I guess you need the bug-number of the newly filed bug)

ciao
Christian
