LibreOffice QA sessions in IRC
Are you interested in learning more about quality assurance? Do you want to help find and verify bugs? Want to help us in making LibreOffice a better product? Then join our QA sessions in IRC! The first session takes place on April 15th and 16th, and everyone is welcome — routined QA engineers as well as interested newcomers.
I know you’re not the people to fix this, but I’m betting you know the right people to tell.
Anyway, looking for Documetation for LibreOffice to support an impending deployment at a client I found a 404 on http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/
I’m guessing the page should be pointed at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation#Getting_Started_with_LibreOffice.org, or something similar.
Cheers!

I’m new to bug tracking. I recently found a problem with printing in Impress. I went on your official IRC channel several times and asked for help on checking the bug and submitting a report. I received either no feedback at all or nothing more than “submit a bug report”. I then learned how to submit a bug report and did so. Here it is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35275 . But as far as I can tell it has lead to nothing. I am just an end user with no special skills and no bug tracking expertize so I may be missing some important step. But shouldn’t your procedures work for people like me? Does submitting a bug and getting in contact with programmers about it have to be so arcane for LibreOffice? It seems really peculiar. I use many other open source applications, for example VLC. I run Ubuntu on my laptop. Every time I’ve had a problem or found some bug relating to them there’s been straightforward ways to submit information about it and get timely feedback from developers or more knowledgeable users, often in some official forum. OpenOffice was weak in that department but LibreOffice appears much worse.
