Hi Rusty,
Having a link directly to the issue tracker (even to create a new issue) isn't a bad idea (unfortunately it will require someone to create an issue on Github to get the ball rolling *grin*). As we use GitHub, it would still open a browser and you would need to be logged into (or create) a Github account. Even if we moved away from Github to another issue tracker, I don't see a way around that, as the issue tracker does several things: 1. It keeps track of issues that people raise and allows them to be prioritised and followed through to completion. 2. By registering, it allows the developers to ask follow-up questions, provide links to test builds so the original person (and anyone else interested) can see if we have indeed resolved the issue. 3. It allows issues to be searchable and keeps them all in one place.
If we just had say a "provide feedback" option in NVDA which simply sent us an e-mail with your problem / idea / etc, then it would be hard to keep track of who had asked for what, how many people were having a particular problem, and we would get a lot of duplicate e-mails.
The other thing with Github is that while NV Access has several in-house developers, there are many others around the world who also contribute code, testing, feedback and other assistance and we need a central repository to make that all possible. If you e-mailed me and asked for a particular feature, we can look at it, but it might be something that isn't a high enough priority to get to immediately. It might however, be something one of our other contributors has an interest in and would like to write some code to support and they may be able to get to it faster, but I don't necessarily know who might be interested.
Regards
Quentin.

"report a problem" or something like that.
Honestly, it's easier for me to just use another browser than to slog
through a registration and goofing around in github to report a
problem.
I know, NVDA is donation ware, but it might make the product even
better to make giving feedback a more painless process. :)

I think it works well overall. I think sometimes it can be overwhelming, particularly if you go to the "main" page which initially links to code and can be confusing for a non-technical user who just wants to share a problem they are having.
I generally link to the issues page: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues and if I'm encouraging someone to report an issue, I'll often give them the direct link to create a new issue: https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/new That "form" only has two things you need to fill in - a subject, and a description, and basically if you put in as much information as you can that you think might be relevant, we can skip over anything we don't need, and we'll ask for clarification if we do need more.
It is worth explaining now and then (as I hope I did) why people need to register.
If someone does have trouble filing an issue themselves, then I am willing to do it. I do try to encourage people to do it themselves though because then they will get the responses and any questions directly.

Hi Rusty,
Having a link directly to the issue tracker (even to create
a new issue) isn't a bad idea (unfortunately it will require someone to create
an issue on Github to get the ball rolling *grin*). As we use GitHub, it
would still open a browser and you would need to be logged into (or create) a
Github account. Even if we moved away from Github to another issue
tracker, I don't see a way around that, as the issue tracker does several
things:
1. It keeps track of issues that people raise and allows
them to be prioritised and followed through to
completion.
2. By registering, it allows the developers to ask
follow-up questions, provide links to test builds so the original person (and
anyone else interested) can see if we have indeed resolved the
issue.
3. It allows issues to be searchable and keeps them all in
one place.
If we just had say a "provide feedback" option in NVDA
which simply sent us an e-mail with your problem / idea / etc, then it would
be hard to keep track of who had asked for what, how many people were having a
particular problem, and we would get a lot of duplicate
e-mails.
The other thing with Github is that while NV Access has
several in-house developers, there are many others around the world who also
contribute code, testing, feedback and other assistance and we need a central
repository to make that all possible. If you e-mailed me and asked for a
particular feature, we can look at it, but it might be something that isn't a
high enough priority to get to immediately. It might however, be
something one of our other contributors has an interest in and would like to
write some code to support and they may be able to get to it faster, but I
don't necessarily know who might be interested.

Well I think the idea is that the one field has all the suggested information to include. Having just one field hopefully doesn't seem as intimidating as having a dozen fields to fill in. But if it's not working and having a dozen smaller fields (I didn't count, just grabbed the number out of the air) would be easier, then that's certainly something to look at.

Maybe but the problem I have is that bits of the description and what I'm pasting in get all muddled together and it looks and sounds like a heap of rubbish. Myself I'd rather it have the text in the page not written in the field. I find this an issue on many other sites, almost as annoying as auto complete is. Brian

The other problem with github which I forgot to mention is this. When you want to find out if your issue already exists, the internal search seems to have been designed to not see the obvious, so to speak as almost every time I do an issue somebody piles in closed duplicate of xxxx. I do search, but increasingly I feel I'm wasting my time, as it never seems to spot anything other than stuff not related to my issue at all. Its kind of like its searching for everything but what I'm talking about! Maybe its a programmer vs user language issue, who knows. Brian

Hi Rusty,
Having a link directly to the issue tracker (even to create a new issue) isn't a bad idea (unfortunately it will require someone to create an issue on Github to get the ball rolling *grin*). As we use GitHub, it would still open a browser and you would need to be logged into (or create) a Github account. Even if we moved away from Github to another issue tracker, I don't see a way around that, as the issue tracker does several things:
1. It keeps track of issues that people raise and allows them to be prioritised and followed through to completion.
2. By registering, it allows the developers to ask follow-up questions, provide links to test builds so the original person (and anyone else interested) can see if we have indeed resolved the issue.
3. It allows issues to be searchable and keeps them all in one place.
If we just had say a "provide feedback" option in NVDA which simply sent us an e-mail with your problem / idea / etc, then it would be hard to keep track of who had asked for what, how many people were having a particular problem, and we would get a lot of duplicate e-mails.
The other thing with Github is that while NV Access has several in-house developers, there are many others around the world who also contribute code, testing, feedback and other assistance and we need a central repository to make that all possible. If you e-mailed me and asked for a particular feature, we can look at it, but it might be something that isn't a high enough priority to get to immediately. It might however, be something one of our other contributors has an interest in and would like to write some code to support and they may be able to get to it faster, but I don't necessarily know who might be interested.
So, in short... would you like to create a github issue with your idea? https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/new
Regards
Quentin.

Fair points. Re searching for issues, by default GitHub will search for open issues. If someone else has posted the same thing but it's been considered and decided not to fix, or already fixed, or closed for some other reason, it won't be in the first list of results. If you look back at the edit field with what you typed when the results are shown, it will display:
"is:issue is:open" in front of what you typed. Leave the is:issue part, but if you remove the "is:open" part, then it will show both open and closed issues. (alternatively you can type "is:closed" to see closed issues, or activate the "X Closed" link where X is the number of closed issues which match.
When you are searching, try and use words which are likely to be as specific to your issue as possible. Just looking at the issues, there is one called "NVDA Portable copy will not start, reports missing dll". If I search for "NVDA won't start", I get 68 open and 179 closed. Searching for "Missing DLL" is better, I only get 5 open and 14 closed, but if I search for the name of the dll file, " api-ms-win-core-rtlsupport-l1-2-0.dll", I get only one issue.

Hi Rusty,
Having a link directly to the issue tracker (even to create a new issue)
isn't a bad idea (unfortunately it will require someone to create an issue
on Github to get the ball rolling *grin*). As we use GitHub, it would
still open a browser and you would need to be logged into (or create) a
Github account. Even if we moved away from Github to another issue
tracker, I don't see a way around that, as the issue tracker does several
things:
1. It keeps track of issues that people raise and allows them to be
prioritised and followed through to completion.
2. By registering, it allows the developers to ask follow-up questions,
provide links to test builds so the original person (and anyone else

3. It allows issues to be searchable and keeps them all in one place.
If we just had say a "provide feedback" option in NVDA which simply sent

Hi Rusty,
Having a link directly to the issue tracker (even to create a new issue) isn't a bad idea (unfortunately it will require someone to create an issue on Github to get the ball rolling *grin*). As we use GitHub, it would still open a browser and you would need to be logged into (or create) a Github account. Even if we moved away from Github to another issue tracker, I don't see a way around that, as the issue tracker does several things:
1. It keeps track of issues that people raise and allows them to be prioritised and followed through to completion.
2. By registering, it allows the developers to ask follow-up questions, provide links to test builds so the original person (and anyone else interested) can see if we have indeed resolved the issue.
3. It allows issues to be searchable and keeps them all in one place.
If we just had say a "provide feedback" option in NVDA which simply sent us an e-mail with your problem / idea / etc, then it would be hard to keep track of who had asked for what, how many people were having a particular problem, and we would get a lot of duplicate e-mails.
The other thing with Github is that while NV Access has several in-house developers, there are many others around the world who also contribute code, testing, feedback and other assistance and we need a central repository to make that all possible. If you e-mailed me and asked for a particular feature, we can look at it, but it might be something that isn't a high enough priority to get to immediately. It might however, be something one of our other contributors has an interest in and would like to write some code to support and they may be able to get to it faster, but I don't necessarily know who might be interested.
So, in short... would you like to create a github issue with your idea? https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/new
Regards
Quentin.

I know, NVDA is donation ware, but it might make the product even better to make giving feedback a more painless process. :)

Hey Rusty and Quentin,  I have created an issue on Github regarding an integrated feedback hub. Just search for feedback hub on github under issues.  That issue has been closed. Now I understand how important a centralized platform is. However, my thought was actually to connect github with the feedback hub in NVDA. So, for example people who have an account on nvaccess.org can create issues in the integrated feedback hub and the issues will automatically be uploaded on github.  But my idea is not perfect since people would try to write feedback in their own language, so we would need a synchronization with translators. This should remain part of community work and language maintainers should create issues on github for people who cannot speak english.  So, my conclusion is that github should remain as it is now.   Best Adriani  Von: nvda@nvda.groups.io [mailto:nvda@nvda.groups.io] Im Auftrag von Quentin Christensen Gesendet: Freitag, 9.

I don't think you stand any chance of getting github to change, which was the main thrust of my earlier comments about this problem It has seemed to me that since we moved from trac, fewer 'novice' users have been testing and reporting issues both on the main releases or the snaps. This seems to be because of the complexity of github for the novice who just wants to say, I did this that or the other as it says in the instructions and this weird stuff happened.If they post it here, and its not resolved simply then the next step is quite daunting when it involves github.

Yeah I know where you are driving at.
When I was doing a test on a game, tubesim nasoft was using a system called fossle.
The system was low cost, easy to use, easy to submit, easy to brouse.
But to search, you firstly needed to know the generated id number, which well I just discarded immediately.
If you tried a general search for the issue well nothing displayed properly, and you couldn't have a hope in hell to find anything in the database.
I in the end told nick how crappy it was and he tried it and found out the same.
He was a developer so was able to get it ok but it was not a usable system for users to handle and in the end bugs were logged on the system by him after we emailed him and messages were from email.
It seems that to avoid crappy systems we have to pay for a user experience.
While I don't mind paying I think there is something abhorrently wrong in charging for an easy to understand interface.

Well I think the idea is that the one field has all the suggested information to include. Having just one field hopefully doesn't seem as intimidating as having a dozen fields to fill in.
But if it's not working and having a dozen smaller fields (I didn't count, just grabbed the number out of the air) would be easier, then that's certainly something to look at.

Hi Rusty,
Having a link directly to the issue tracker (even to create a new issue) isn't a bad idea (unfortunately it will require someone to create an issue on Github to get the ball rolling *grin*). As we use GitHub, it would still open a browser and you would need to be logged into (or create) a Github account. Even if we moved away from Github to another issue tracker, I don't see a way around that, as the issue tracker does several things:
1. It keeps track of issues that people raise and allows them to be prioritised and followed through to completion.
2. By registering, it allows the developers to ask follow-up questions, provide links to test builds so the original person (and anyone else interested) can see if we have indeed resolved the issue.
3. It allows issues to be searchable and keeps them all in one place.
If we just had say a "provide feedback" option in NVDA which simply sent us an e-mail with your problem / idea / etc, then it would be hard to keep track of who had asked for what, how many people were having a particular problem, and we would get a lot of duplicate e-mails.
The other thing with Github is that while NV Access has several in-house developers, there are many others around the world who also contribute code, testing, feedback and other assistance and we need a central repository to make that all possible. If you e-mailed me and asked for a particular feature, we can look at it, but it might be something that isn't a high enough priority to get to immediately. It might however, be something one of our other contributors has an interest in and would like to write some code to support and they may be able to get to it faster, but I don't necessarily know who might be interested.
So, in short... would you like to create a github issue with your idea? https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/new
Regards
Quentin.

Brian's Mail list account
I'm not sure that this is any better for paying customers of Github. In the main I feel its to do with the ethos of programmers vs users appreciation of each others needs. Its almost like a language barrier in which neither side understands what the other is moaning about. I guess also its like being a teacher. A lot of people find learning hard until some teacher comes along and makes the subject more understandable by using different teaching methods. Brian

When I was doing a test on a game, tubesim nasoft was using a system called fossle.
The system was low cost, easy to use, easy to submit, easy to brouse.
But to search, you firstly needed to know the generated id number, which well I just discarded immediately.
If you tried a general search for the issue well nothing displayed properly, and you couldn't have a hope in hell to find anything in the database.
I in the end told nick how crappy it was and he tried it and found out the same.
He was a developer so was able to get it ok but it was not a usable system for users to handle and in the end bugs were logged on the system by him after we emailed him and messages were from email.
It seems that to avoid crappy systems we have to pay for a user experience.
While I don't mind paying I think there is something abhorrently wrong in charging for an easy to understand interface.

Well I think the idea is that the one field has all the suggested information to include. Having just one field hopefully doesn't seem as intimidating as having a dozen fields to fill in.
But if it's not working and having a dozen smaller fields (I didn't count, just grabbed the number out of the air) would be easier, then that's certainly something to look at.

Hi Rusty,
Having a link directly to the issue tracker (even to create a new issue) isn't a bad idea (unfortunately it will require someone to create an issue on Github to get the ball rolling *grin*). As we use GitHub, it would still open a browser and you would need to be logged into (or create) a Github account. Even if we moved away from Github to another issue tracker, I don't see a way around that, as the issue tracker does several things:
1. It keeps track of issues that people raise and allows them to be prioritised and followed through to completion.
2. By registering, it allows the developers to ask follow-up questions, provide links to test builds so the original person (and anyone else interested) can see if we have indeed resolved the issue.
3. It allows issues to be searchable and keeps them all in one place.
If we just had say a "provide feedback" option in NVDA which simply sent us an e-mail with your problem / idea / etc, then it would be hard to keep track of who had asked for what, how many people were having a particular problem, and we would get a lot of duplicate e-mails.
The other thing with Github is that while NV Access has several in-house developers, there are many others around the world who also contribute code, testing, feedback and other assistance and we need a central repository to make that all possible. If you e-mailed me and asked for a particular feature, we can look at it, but it might be something that isn't a high enough priority to get to immediately. It might however, be something one of our other contributors has an interest in and would like to write some code to support and they may be able to get to it faster, but I don't necessarily know who might be interested.

Its like the tools I install on all the systems including business things I work with they are like, what is this extra software doing and what is it for.
My responce, these are tools I use to service the systems, they don't do anything by themselves, if not run, they are not a security issue, don't touch them, don't move them, they don't exist, they are for me to use.
Unless I do this people monkey with my stuff and before you know I need to reformat because people are using things and going I went into here and what does that button do I can't understand what this does.
Ofcause if A user had to use the tools in question its another issue.
All systems have ccleaner and defragler, and 7zip, and cdbxp.
But they are not for the general userbase to even bother using.

Hi Rusty,
Having a link directly to the issue tracker (even to create a new issue) isn't a bad idea (unfortunately it will require someone to create an issue on Github to get the ball rolling *grin*). As we use GitHub, it would still open a browser and you would need to be logged into (or create) a Github account. Even if we moved away from Github to another issue tracker, I don't see a way around that, as the issue tracker does several things:
1. It keeps track of issues that people raise and allows them to be prioritised and followed through to completion.
2. By registering, it allows the developers to ask follow-up questions, provide links to test builds so the original person (and anyone else interested) can see if we have indeed resolved the issue.
3. It allows issues to be searchable and keeps them all in one place.
If we just had say a "provide feedback" option in NVDA which simply sent us an e-mail with your problem / idea / etc, then it would be hard to keep track of who had asked for what, how many people were having a particular problem, and we would get a lot of duplicate e-mails.

Not entirely what I mean. However its dangerous to leave any software accessible to an end user without either teaching them what its for or stopping them accidentally accessing it in the first place. One has to judge by the general opinion of the persons competence which course to follow of course. Brian

Its like the tools I install on all the systems including business things I work with they are like, what is this extra software doing and what is it for.
My responce, these are tools I use to service the systems, they don't do anything by themselves, if not run, they are not a security issue, don't touch them, don't move them, they don't exist, they are for me to use.
Unless I do this people monkey with my stuff and before you know I need to reformat because people are using things and going I went into here and what does that button do I can't understand what this does.
Ofcause if A user had to use the tools in question its another issue.
All systems have ccleaner and defragler, and 7zip, and cdbxp.
But they are not for the general userbase to even bother using.

Yeah I know where you are driving at.
When I was doing a test on a game, tubesim nasoft was using a system called fossle.
The system was low cost, easy to use, easy to submit, easy to brouse.
But to search, you firstly needed to know the generated id number, which well I just discarded immediately.
If you tried a general search for the issue well nothing displayed properly, and you couldn't have a hope in hell to find anything in the database.
I in the end told nick how crappy it was and he tried it and found out the same.
He was a developer so was able to get it ok but it was not a usable system for users to handle and in the end bugs were logged on the system by him after we emailed him and messages were from email.
It seems that to avoid crappy systems we have to pay for a user experience.
While I don't mind paying I think there is something abhorrently wrong in charging for an easy to understand interface.

Well I think the idea is that the one field has all the suggested information to include. Having just one field hopefully doesn't seem as intimidating as having a dozen fields to fill in.
But if it's not working and having a dozen smaller fields (I didn't count, just grabbed the number out of the air) would be easier, then that's certainly something to look at.

Hi Rusty,
Having a link directly to the issue tracker (even to create a new issue) isn't a bad idea (unfortunately it will require someone to create an issue on Github to get the ball rolling *grin*). As we use GitHub, it would still open a browser and you would need to be logged into (or create) a Github account. Even if we moved away from Github to another issue tracker, I don't see a way around that, as the issue tracker does several things:
1. It keeps track of issues that people raise and allows them to be prioritised and followed through to completion.
2. By registering, it allows the developers to ask follow-up questions, provide links to test builds so the original person (and anyone else interested) can see if we have indeed resolved the issue.
3. It allows issues to be searchable and keeps them all in one place.
If we just had say a "provide feedback" option in NVDA which simply sent us an e-mail with your problem / idea / etc, then it would be hard to keep track of who had asked for what, how many people were having a particular problem, and we would get a lot of duplicate e-mails.
The other thing with Github is that while NV Access has several in-house developers, there are many others around the world who also contribute code, testing, feedback and other assistance and we need a central repository to make that all possible. If you e-mailed me and asked for a particular feature, we can look at it, but it might be something that isn't a high enough priority to get to immediately. It might however, be something one of our other contributors has an interest in and would like to write some code to support and they may be able to get to it faster, but I don't necessarily know who might be interested.
So, in short... would you like to create a github issue with your idea? https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/issues/new
Regards
Quentin.

I know, NVDA is donation ware, but it might make the product even better to make giving feedback a more painless process. :)

Well I do teach some users bits of the software, 7zip for example, however I find that if the desktop icon to whatever software I have installed is removed the user or at least users I work with don't even bother with the software.
Its in plain sight ofcause I can't deny that, but without the icons or pinned shortcuts the completely visible software is completely safe from users.
Ofcause they need to be admin or use my account which I put on all my systems I service so its not like they can just run it with my password for those that I think will try to see what it does.
Most family though doesn't bother with it.
