Do we need so? It's easy to see in overview.xml page whether it's rusty |
| 14 |
translation or not. For me there's no need to employ users to do |
| 15 |
that... |

Could be |
| 24 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Docs-user&component=Translated%20Documentation&short_desc=[$LANG |
| 25 |
from <guide>] - to point them directly to reporting page. |
| 26 |
Possible drawback could be abuse of that and rain of silly bugs. |
| 27 |
It's also worth to note that not every reader is signed up to bugzie |
| 28 |
and wants/has time to be... |

Many times they are linked from third-party pages, sometimes are |
| 35 |
bookmarked, so on, don't think that if they aren't in index, they |
| 36 |
won't be noticed... |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
Summarising: I like the idea of some sort of "If you notice a bug, |
| 39 |
please <uri link="somwhere in bugzie">let us</uri> know". It could be |
| 40 |
somewhere near current abstract and date fields... |
