How Do We Report Bugs / Make Feature Requests?

[Loon]

Is there any official information on how we should report bugs & make feature requests relating to the Pandora?

Is it via http://bugs.openpandora.org/?

Or should we report them on this forum and let the team decide which ones to add to the official bug list.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a better way to do this?

It would be nice to have some official advice relating to this issue.

PS Sorry for the duplicate post, did ask this in the 'from the hall' thread but no answer was forthcoming, thought it was worth a separate topic.

That seems to me like a very good question sir

The registration / submission of bugs seems to be open - so I'd assume stick to the bugtracker since we don't have a bug section here

My experience as Wesnoth dev tells me that reporting bugs in a forum sucks for the developers. In a forum they are easily lost and the likes. If you are looking for some help how to do things, the forums are the right place. But for real bugs better use the tracker where they will not be missed this easily.

Use the bugtracker, so that a dev can review them later and figure out what to do with the reports.

I'd be afraid of reporting a bug and it turning out to be my own stupidity, but I guess that's the nature of the beast?

Everyone should do a forum search for fixes for their "bugs" before they report them of course.

Yep, fully agree -- you shoudl do the usual 'due diligence' -- search the forum and trrack for existing reports, ounce the idea aorund with others and the devs if they're watching, and if it really looks like a new issue or request, then post to the tracker. Don't go willy nilly posting there, or it'll have to have its public face disabled (ie: if people spam it with 100 entries an hour or something

But we all know there will be no bugs, right?
