My point was to show all bugs are not created equal. How do you resolve a
bug which starts:

"RunRev doesn't work." --user
"What's the problem." --RR
"It's broken" -user
"How can I help?" --RR
"When I step on the pedal, it doesn't go forward!" -user
"That's the mouse, and you're not supposed to step on it" -RR

My only thought is I'd rather RR spend their valuable and precious
bug-resolving resources on bugs which are clearly delineated.

Well, my idea would be to reply (this would be automated) to a bug email (must be sent to the bugs@ address) with a link to a page to fill in the details of the bug. This would constitute a web page with as many options as possible as pull downs, starting from the highest level (choose the software, choose the version) to as low as can fit on one page, so as to not appear a daunting task. If they reach the bottom of the page they have the option to further detail the issue. The pull downs should whittle the chaff away from the problem so the bug reporter now has a better idea of what is required and can now detail the issue in his/her own words. Getting to this point should also assist with any issues regarding non-native speakers.

Cheers,

Luis.
