Sorry, it is late for me - I always try to offer a solution rather than just shoot something down; I just hadn't got there yet. A little more of my thinking: if we put any sort of 'report bug' link onto the Tasking Manager and it's for reporting more than issues with the TM itself, then we're going to need a lot more discussion (at least with our Activation and Tech Working Groups), so it's great to see some mock-ups, but without more time to really look at the logistics - if it basically sends an email - then that isn't going to fix problems that we will surely get like 'the website is down', how to I get the building plug-in for JOSM, etc.
My 'solution', and just to make sure everyone is aware of the 'official' OSM Help site: https://help.openstreetmap.org/ - we could definitely add a link to there on the TM.

See the rough I sent. It's a straight forward programming line - radio1=JOSMteam (email address or web address etc.). Something like that!

It should be clarified. "Problem with iD or JSOM" As for what else is needed, that is up to those who know how to fix either. Maybe the button above should lead to two choices: "iD" or "JOSM," at which point the appropriate questionnaire appears. Does JOSM include a way to report issues? To my knowledge, iD does not. Clearly they need to be separate. JOSM bugs are reported on the josm.openstreetmap.de website. One the main JOSM page are the instructions: Found a bug? | Have an idea? | Make a suggestion? • Please report any bug found: Create a new ticket using the Report Bug entry in the main menu Help. Alternatively, the same function is available under About and Show status report. • Discuss ideas and suggestions also in the bug tracker, on the josm-dev mailing list, or on the #josm IRC channel. JOSM is sold as an advanced editor which might give the impress that someone "steps up" from iD to JSOM. From what I've seen on HOT, for some tasks it is the preferred editor which means that new mappers are using JOSM. If they come from an open source, ie linux, background I don't see any real roadblocks to creating bug reports. But for the vast majority it is somewhat intimidating. One solution is to report the bug on the Tasking Manager for the task owner to verify. If it is a bug, the task owner reports the bug on the josm website. That allows the owner to triage the reports to make sure that they weed out user/training issues. I'm inclined to suggest modifying the TM interface to include these issues. What does everyone else think?
