==Reporting bugs==
The recomended way to report a bug is to use the [http://bugs.gramps-project.org GRAMPS Gramps Bug Tracker], see [[How to report bugs]]. This allows the Gramps Developers to follow a formal method of tracking and resolving your report. Due to the high volume of email that the primary developers receive, there is always a chance that an email may slip through the cracks. Using the bug tracker will make sure that your issue will be handled.
Bug reports submitted, directly to the [http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/gramps-bugs GRAMPS Gramps Bugs mailing list] are not recommended.
==Requesting enhancements==
Requesting an enhancement can be done either through the gramps-users or gramps-devel mailing lists, or by [http://bugs.gramps-project.org/ creating a feature item] on the bug tracker. We would prefer that serious requests get submitted to the bug tracker. You switch to '''Project: Feature Requests''' on the top right head corner, and select '''Report Issue'''. Again, this allows us to formally track the request.
==Wiki, Website/Blog, Bug Tracker applications==
For problems relating to the Gramps site and the applications used to support Gramps, contact Nick Wallingford [mailto:[email protected]] or raise the issue on the developer list described below.
