Hello, please comment about these two proposed changes: Change 1: on the website we have a "Report a Bug" link, which leads us directly to the PR form. Imho, this is not wise, because all submitters should read the most important guidelines first. We have a lot of weird PRs with questions that should just be sent to the mailing lists, or PRs with too less information or with wrong category. Not quite often, but we also get non-English PRs as well. If all users read the support/bugreports.html page, these would probably not happen so many times, and the Bugmeister Team had less to do. We also have www/97233 about this, and Remko also showed interest, bugmeister@ is CC'd by his request. Change 2: the PR query form has changed recently, and we have 3 links on support/bugreports.sgml, which point to the same place. Well, actually 2 of them point to query-pr-summary.cgi and the third one points to query-pr.cgi, but we see the same form in the three cases. I think it would be cool to merge them into one entry on bugreports.html, but I'm not sure what's the difference between the two cgi scripts, what they do differently. Shaun is CC'd because he knows much about the cgi script and probably can explain me. There's www/97234, where the submitter says the current order of the links is odd, and he would prefer changing the order of the links. What I propose would also solve his concern. I made a patch for the two changes, it is available here: http://gabor.t-hosting.hu/patches/www-rfc.diff As I said, I'm not sure the latter is correct, but it would be nice to make it simpler. Regards, Gabor
