+ <title>Reporting Bugs</title>
+ <!-- NOTE TO TRANSLATORS: This section is material taken from gnome-desktop/desktop-docs/gnome-feedback/ Look for existing translations there before translating it all over again :) -->
+ <para>
+ If you have found a bug in one of GNOME applications, please
+ report it! Developers do read all the bug reports and try to fix
+ these bugs. Please try to be as specific as possible when
+ describing the circumstances under which the bug shows (what
+ commands did you enter? which buttons did you click?). If there were any
+ error messages, be sure to include them, too.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The easiest way to report bugs is by using <application>Bug
+ Report Tool</application> (<command>bug-buddy</command>),
+ available in the <guisubmenu>System Tools</guisubmenu> submenu
+ of <guimenu>Applications</guimenu> menu. This utility will guide you
+ through the bug reporting process; it will also
+ automatically collect some information necessary for
+ developers, such as versions of the operating system and
+ libraries you are using. In the event that an application crashes, the <application>Bug
+ Report Tool</application> will launch automatically.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ You can also submit bugs and browse the list of known bugs by
+ connecting to the <ulink type="http"
+ url="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/">GNOME bug tracking
+ database</ulink>. You will need to register before you can
+ submit any bugs this way — and do not forget to read
+ <ulink type="http"
+ url="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/bugwritinghelp.html">Bug
+ Writing Guidelines</ulink>.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Please note that some of GNOME applications are developed outside of GNOME, or by
+ commercial companies (these products are still free
+ software). For example, <application>Inkscape</application>, a
+ vector graphics application, is developed at <ulink type="http"
+ url="http://sourceforge.net/projects/inkscape/">SourceForge</ulink>. Bugs reports and
+ comments about these products should be directed to the
+ respective organization or company. If you are using <application>Bug Report
+ Tool</application>, it will automatically send bug reports to
+ the correct database.

+ <title>Suggestions and Comments</title>
+ <!-- NOTE TO TRANSLATORS: This section is material taken from gnome-desktop/desktop-docs/gnome-feedback/ Look for existing translations there before translating it all over again :) -->
+ <para>
+ If you have a suggestion or want to request a new feature for
+ one of the applications, it can also be done using the bug
+ tracking database. Submit your suggestion as a bug report as
+ described in <xref linkend="feedback-bugs" /> and at the appropriate
+ step select <guilabel>Severity: Enhancement</guilabel>.
+ </para>

+ <section id="feedback-docs">
+ <title>Documentation Comments</title>
+ <!-- NOTE TO TRANSLATORS: This section is material taken from gnome-desktop/desktop-docs/gnome-feedback/ Look for existing translations there before translating it all over again :) -->
+
+ <para> If you found an inaccuracy or misprint in one of GNOME
+ documents, or have any comments or suggestions about
+ documentation, please let us know! The easiest way of doing so
+ is by submitting a bug report as explained before and
+ selecting <guilabel>Component: docs</guilabel> at appropriate
+ steps (or <guilabel>general</guilabel> if there is no
+ <guilabel>docs</guilabel> component). If your comment is about
+ general GNOME documentation (such as <citetitle>GNOME Users
+ Guide</citetitle>) rather than specific application manual,
+ select <guilabel>Product: gnome-user-docs</guilabel>.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ Alternatively, you can just send your comments by email to the
+ <ulink type="http"
+ url="http://live.gnome.org/DocumentationProject">GNOME
+ Documentation Project</ulink> mailing list; our address is
+ <email>gnome-doc-list@gnome.org</email>. And by the way: if you are not
+ a developer but want to help GNOME —
+ <ulink type="http"
+ url="http://live.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/Join">join
+ the GDP</ulink> and help us improve GNOME documentation.
