Description Mark Linimon 2003-11-30 10:03:40 UTC 
Speaking as one of the more recent people who has added to the PR guidelines
document itself, I would support this change as well.
Comment 1 Bill Moran 2003-11-30 18:20:22 UTC 
	I understand the problems associated with making the web interface
        to send-pr function.  Personally, I believe that these problems will
	be relegated to low-priority for some time, and that it will be a while
	before anyone discovers a way to reliably fix this interface.

	As a holdover solution, the "Send a bug report" link on the home page
	should point to the article on PRs at
	www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/problem-reports/article.html

	(Personally, I feel it would be wiser to keep that link pointing at
	that page, even after the web interface is re-enabled, as it will
	(hopefully) force people to review the PR guidelines before using
	the web interface.)

	I made this suggestion on the doc@ mailing list, and it received some
	support and no opposition.

Fix: 

See problem description.
How-To-Repeat: 	Click on the "Send a bug report" link on http://www.freebsd.org
