hmm, looks like an good start, but for me doesn't go far enough. |
| 15 |
The user still has to type in too much manually. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
I'd suggest an tool, where the user *first* gives the package name, |
| 18 |
and the tool gathers any necessary information (version, useflags, |
| 19 |
make config, ...). Dependend on the package, this tool may ask specific |
| 20 |
questions or gather specific information (ie. on web applications, |
| 21 |
we'd be interested in webserver, browser, certain network configs, ...). |
| 22 |

The usage should be as simple as possible for normal users, so they |
| 24 |
have great interest in using it. For example, asking the user to |
| 25 |
look for similar bug is probably good for devs/maintainers, but |
| 26 |
uncomfortable for plain users. But we shouldn't forget, that all |
| 27 |
the plain users are (in their mass) also an important contributor. |
| 28 |
(they find and report bugs, which probably never would be found |
| 29 |
by the maintainers). |
