== Bug report specific article(s) == | |||
To my surprise there is no [[Submitting bug reports]] article (or [[Responding to bug reports]] for that matter), and I remind myself that the relevant information is spread throughout the wiki instead of being summed up in one place. | |||
Some things to consider when writing it (kind of a 'note to self' for now): | |||
* The bug reports themselves: | |||
** What bugs should be reported where? | |||
** What information might be needed? | |||
** What kind of responses should be expected? | |||
* Target groups? | |||
** Non-native English speaking computer novices? | |||
** Regular FlightGear users? | |||
** FlightGear developers? | |||
* Concepts could also be borrowed from from: | |||
** Eric Steven Raymond, [http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html How To Ask Questions The Smart Way] | |||
** Amy Hoy, [http://slash7.com/2006/12/22/vampires/ Reforming the Help Vampire Help Vampires: A Spotter’s Guide], in particular the section ''Reforming the Help Vampire'' | |||
It would be quite preferable from a maintenance perspective to have that information gathered to only a few places and only describe the concepts briefly before linking to those articles, also from the forum and mailing list (in essence DRY – Don't Repeat Yourself). | |||
