Anyway, I'm trying hard to come up with a web page that makes it easy for even non-wine-developers to help triage bug reports. [ http://kegel.com/wine/qa ]
You asked for feedback from non-wine-developers, so here's my 2 cents.
Great! Thanks for writing!
1.) Your web page is a little hard to read. Not sure why, maybe it's just that it's 5-guides-in-1 along with code samples that makes it hard to get a proper overview.
Think it would help to break it up into multiple pages? I'm afraid that would just make it harder to follow.
2.) The bugzilla engine that you refer to is hard to use.
I admit it takes some time to get used to, but I don't think switching to something else is an option at the moment.
I've spent an hour staring at the search page before it struck me: I have to put the string "Trillian" in the "Comments" field.
That's just horrid for newbies.
True! I updated my page to lead newbies through searching for a particular app's bugs. Have another look at http://kegel.com/wine/qa/#tools and let me know if it's any better now.
Another thing that would help the newbie experience is to, per default, change the STATUS field to contain all color and flavors.
Agreed. That's worth considering. (Any Bugzilla administrators want to comment?) - Dan
