Reporting bugs

The recommended way to report a bug is to use the 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 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 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 the Webmaster [1] or raise the issue on the developer list described below.

Mailing lists

If the Sourceforge site is too slow for your liking, use the copy of the mailing lists stored on nabble.com. However, if you want to use nabble to send messages (as opposed to just reading them) then you must have subscribed to the related sourceforge mailing list first.
