>Description:
I understand the problems associated with making the web interface
to send-pr function. Personally, I believe that these problems will
be relegated to low-priority for some time, and that it will be a while
before anyone discovers a way to reliably fix this interface.
As a holdover solution, the "Send a bug report" link on the home page
should point to the article on PRs at
www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/article.html
(Personally, I feel it would be wiser to keep that link pointing at
that page, even after the web interface is re-enabled, as it will
(hopefully) force people to review the PR guidelines before using
the web interface.)
I made this suggestion on the doc@ mailing list, and it received some
support and no opposition.
>How-To-Repeat:
Click on the "Send a bug report" link on http://www.freebsd.org
>Fix:
