Bug ID: 459076
Summary: "File a Bug" should show common places to report bugs
for new users
Product: bugs.kde.org
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: product/component changes
Assignee: sysad...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
For better or for worse, KDE's bug reporting process could probably be made
more accessible for new users. For first time reporters, clicking "File a Bug"
and having hundreds of things immediately dumped on you is rather discouraging.
I think at bare minimum, a few things like the "Kde" category to report bugs
when you are not sure where to put them could be pinned to the top of the list.
Some potential improvements in reducing seek time:
Alphabetical indexing to skip ahead
Folding large categories into trees. For example, "Apps" or "Frameworks"
In a very ideal world, we would have pictures , at least for the apps or big
categories
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to file a bug
2. Click "File a Bug"
OBSERVED RESULT
Get lost trying to search for which jargon could possibly be related to what
you saw.
EXPECTED RESULT
Get a little lost, but get closer to the right thing and be able to somewhat
verify whether the place you're reporting your bug to is what you think it is.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Ultimately, there are many limitations to this and even if it were to be
successfully implemented, there would probably be a greater cost of lower
quality bug reports to sort through.
