As Andrea said, making this "document submit" is easily done in Drupal. Albeit I really would prefer the requirement the user to register. Why? We avoid spam. Also, a user who just submit a bug report but is unable to provide all the information requested (really usual) or are unable to keep tracking of the bug (like implement the recommendations or request from the people), is not really useful. We need the user to take part on that bug report. I'm assuming that if he is reporting the bug the cares little enough to keep a little track to it. If not, nothing good will happen with that bug report and in the end will be just using space in the bug tracker. My proposal as member of the Drupal Development Team is to use Project/Issues modules for Issue tracking and a custom feature to document submit. So, a common user base is shared between the website and the issue tracking software. Please check Issue module here http://drupal.org/project/project_issue and their features/way to do things here: http://drupal.org/project/issues Kind regards. -- http://www.cjenkins.net/ http://csl-tec.softwarelibrecr.org/ -- E-mail to [email protected] for instructions on how to unsubscribe List archives are available at http://www.libreoffice.org/lists/website/ All messages you send to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
