#30945: bug report workflow could use some improvement
---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
Reporter: macosforge@… | Owner: jmpp@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: website | Version: 2.0.1
Keywords: | Port:
---------------------------------------+------------------------------------
currently, I click "Report a bug" on the webpage and I'm being greeted
with "login with email and password".
[[BR]]
First fail: it doesn't tell me what to do when I don't an account
("register" is at the top right and not that intuitive), but more
seriously,
[[BR]]
2) why require a login at all? millions of blogs can live without that.
Let me enter an optional(!) email address to get notified if I want to,
maybe make me confirm it via an optin link sent there (to catch spelling
mistakes) - but the whole process needs to be much more accessible (see
any study on how many users you lose if you require users to log in to
your site).
another small suggestion - it's good to refer to the bug submission
guidelines, maybe a small executive summary would be nice:
* tell the user to search for duplicates first[[BR]]
* explain the format for summary: [port] [version] [concise description]
- example: ...[[BR]]
* use { { { ... } } } in description for terminal output)
