<appendix id="feedback">
<title>Feedback</title>
<para>This section contains information on reporting bugs in GNOME, making suggestions and comments about GNOME applications or documentation, and ways in which you can help GNOME.</para>
<section id="feedback-bugs">
<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 Buddy</application>, GNOME's built-in bug reporting tool. This will launch automatically in the event that an application crashes. The details GNOME developers need are automatically collected, but you can further help by giving information about what you were doing when the crash took place.
</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.
</para>

<section id="feedback-wishlist">
<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>
<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.

<title>Joining the GNOME Project</title>
<para>We hope you enjoy using GNOME and that you find working with GNOME productive. However, there is always room for improvement.</para>
<para>GNOME invites you to join our free software community if you have some spare time. There are many different fields. GNOME needs programmers, but it also needs translators, documentation writers, testers, artists, writers, and more.</para>
<para>For more information on joining GNOME, please visit <ulink type="http" url="http://live.gnome.org/JoinGnome">http://live.gnome.org/JoinGnome</ulink>.</para>
<para>For more information on giving feedback on GNOME, such as bug reports, suggestions, and corrections to documentation, see <xref linkend="feedback-bugs" />.</para>
