| <h1>Submit an issue</h1> |
| <p>Thank you for taking the time to submit an issue! We really appreciate your help in constantly improving |
| OpenOffice.org!<br/> |
| Before you <a style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.openoffice.org/issues/enter_bug.cgi">proceed</a>, |
| please consider the following</p> |
| |
| <h4><a name="duplicates"></a>Did you check if your problem is already |
| reported?</h4> |
| <p></p>Unfortunately, too many issues get reported twice (or much more often). |
| You, as the submitter who exactly knows the problem, often are much |
| faster in finding the duplicates than other people. So please take some |
| minutes to <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/issues/query.cgi">see if |
| your problem is already reported</a>. If so, you can add yourself to |
| the cc-list of the issue, to be notified whenever something in this |
| issue changes (e.g. when it's fixed).</p> |
| |
| <h4><a name="read_the_rules"></a>Please follow the rules</h4> |
| <p>If this is the first issue you submit, please take a moment to read the |
| <a href="basic_rules.html">the basic rules</a>. They take you very |
| little time to follow, but potentially, they save a lot of other people |
| a lot of time. Short and simple, these are:<br> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="basic_rules.html#one_per_issue">One problem - |
| one |
| issue</a></li> |
| <li><a href="basic_rules.html#summary">Provide a |
| meaningful summary</a><br> |
| </li> |
| <li><a href="basic_rules.html#reproducibility">Provide |
| step-by-step descriptions</a></li> |
| <li><a href="basic_rules.html#bugdoc">Provide sample |
| documents, if possible</a></li> |
| <li><a href="basic_rules.html#attachments">Use Attachments |
| reasonably</a></li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <h4><a name="login"></a>Please log in</h4> |
| <p>For submitting an issue, you need to <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/TLogin">log in</a>. If you do |
| not yet have an OpenOffice.org account, please <a href="http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/Join">join us</a>. This is |
| necessary, as issues are bound to their submitter, which, for example, enables other people who work on the reported |
| problem to ask you back in case of uncertainties.</p> |
