Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4.4
Followup-For: Bug #661563
Dear Maintainer,
It is important to also recognise that there are a lot of minor 'usability'
bugs which make programs difficult or off-putting for non technical users.
These issues are best noticed and reported by them, and so catering reportbug
for such users would be a massive step forward. Having a really easy and
intuitive interface, such as in this step, to help people report bugs. would do
this. A good approach might be to have a kind of questionnaire thing where a
few options are chosen, leading to a few more, and soon (like the game 20
questions) they will probably have a better idea which package to file it
against.
