Hi all,

in a way, this is a bug about filing a bug. My housemate was
complaining about something in GNOME not working so I asked her to
file a bug.

She couldn't actually find how to file a bug because the information
was not where she was expecting to see it.

Her first stop was the "get involved" page on gnome.org. She was
expecting to find  a "file a bug" link.

Having failed, she searched for "bug" on gnome.org using the search
bar. That also did not come up with anything useful.

I eventually pointed her to the link in the footer, but having watched
her try find this information on her own, I would like to suggest that
the "get involved" page is updated to help users give us feedback more
easily.

This is excellent information.  It does seem bizarre that we have no way to file a bug from the front page.  We do  need to think about how to make a more useful website that does better volunteer capture.

I think though fixing the "file a bug" should be a priority.  I have created two bugs, one in engagement list - https://gitlab.gnome.org/Community/Engagement/General/issues/61 and a matching bugzilla bug at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=793490.

Let's fix it up for now and then we can think about how a redesign would address some of these issues when it comes to volunteer capture.
