reporting of bugs etc

[jh]

I would like to know if my reporting of error messages is useful, or am I just clogging up
the list?

Regards,
jh

Hi,
No, every report gets read. I've noticed over the years here, that it runs slow and
sometimes,
things get lost. However, we now have a list log, so, some of us can go and check for
bugs
that have been reported. Every piece of information does help.

Thanks,
James

Generally the bugs are not easily reproducible. If a developer
who has the knowledge to fix the problem need to spend an hour or
more just setting up some program on his ReactOS installation then
he- probably will not fix the problem. If there was a simple test
that reproduced the problem every time, then the developer would
probably be much more willing to fix the problem. Non-developers
cannot do this, but Win32 developers with little ReactOS experience
should be able to create a test in many cases. For the
non-developers, we should at least make it easier to send in bug
reports that contains symbolic information.
