Too many vague or un-researched bug reports. People filing bugs instead of googling the problem or even reading the manual. Lets just go with the average user might not understand when the right place is the mailing or stackexchange vs filing a bug. Those other methods of communication allow true

My main objections to having a report bugs button on the main page: - I think users who are not too familiar with the workings of open source projects will be alarmed why we think it necessary to add a report bugs button right next to the download button. They want (the illusion? of) bug-free

Hiya, What about a link saying Think you've found a bug? That then sends the user to a separate page which gives guidance that you want to give the user, AND also a box saying Paste a short error message here This is then sent off to google for them. Regards, Zoltan On 2014/05/02 08:44,

There's a reason some projects choose to call them issues and not bugs (translations vary). I agree you can put a link on the front page to info about issues, but I would avoid a comment box - that will get hit by spam bots and then becomes another places people have to check. Thanks, Alex On

It was me who years ago put Issue Tracker on the MapServer homepage beside the Download link. I think you/we must remember this is about the new users, about helping them tell developers the problems they are having; a link to Github means absolutely nothing to a new user, and if it is hidden on

All good. Never once have we had a problem. Because the process means you need to create an account, login, then report issue, it weeds out any non-serious reports (the feedback form idea would be full of those non-serious reports I worry; people who report then you never hear from them again).
