Review "contributing" guidelines and make better tempaltes for bug reports

Open masinter opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Most of the bug reports don't follow the template, which asks for information that is often either irrelevant or difficult to determine. This should be corrected in the CONTRIBUTING section and the Medley repo Issues list.

What parts of the bug reporting template are you least satisfied with? What information would you like reports to always provide? I think the sysout datestamp is essential information.

In the old days, we had a Lafita form that produced the bug submission message. Now, I think we should have a function in the image that would write a file, with whatever we need, to attach to the problem report. We don’t need to have people poking around trying to find what we’re likely to want, and an attached file can be more complete without cluttering up the report.
