[Qgis-developer] User plugins bug reports server unavailable?

[Mayeul Kauffmann]

Hi Richard,
Thanks for your very clear answer!
I have updated the page http://hub.qgis.org/wiki/quantum-gis/Bugreports
with more detailed instructions.
(If it is possible, removing the "New issue" link at
http://hub.qgis.org/projects/qgis-user-plugins might help some users,
since the link will always trigger an error message. Alternatively, the
link could go to a page saying that you have to go to a plugin
sub-project first).

Cheers,
Mayeul
