Hi List,

This is for anyone who has reported bugs in Bugzilla. At the recent 
MapServer User Meeting some of the core developers suggested some tips 
on getting your bugs addressed. The main thing was to provide clear 
steps to reproduce the bug including full error messages, map files, 
(small) data sets, screenshots, code snippets, suggestions, anything 
that will make it easier and faster to reproduce.

There are probably quite a few bugs in Bugzilla right now that lack 
sufficient supporting information, so I suggest that everyone review the 
bugs you have reported and fill in the blanks where they appear. I'm 
sure the developers would appreciate it and it might even help move your 
pet bugs along.

Dean
