Yes shure ..but could it just be that the poeple who submit the report don't really understand what the developer needs to be able to help...sometimes poeple think they are helping by submitting a problem report but realy don't quite know complete to make the report in a way that makes sense to the developer.. > > It can be as simple as noting the error after certain actions took place. > Or as elaborate as booting with -v, crashdumping the OS and gdb'ing it. ok shure that is probably enough info for someone who doesn't do anything else but develop code..however for most poeple the line above could be just like chinese or whatever. > And it's documented in the docs how to best report problems. And there, > once again, we have the problem of not reading the docs... Probably right ...and no I don't think it is not the case of not reading the docs but comprehending them..some poeple have a limited comprehention of the english language ...so that could be it..( exaple if I wrote to you in technical french you probably would not be able to comprehend it aldo you would be able to read it same thing goes for poeple not comprehending english. maybe one should write docs a 10th grade US scholar would coprehend...then this would be less accurant.
