             Bug #: 29400
           Summary: Bug submission requirements: guidelines not clear that
                    you should be using the latest beta.
           Product: WineHQ Bugzilla
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: bugzilla-unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: hgtoo at yahoo.com
    Classification: Unclassified


When clicking to lodge a new bug you're directed to read
http://wiki.winehq.org/Bugs which says you should be "using the latest version
of Wine" & in turn directs you to http://www.winehq.org/site/download There,
two latest releases, stable & development, are listed.

Next, http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu hints that you should go for stable
rather than development release, so I did, especially as I've never known a bug
submission process that requires you to be running a beta. But, that's what I
was told to do, in the comments, when I actually submitted bug 29398 & bug
29399

I've since had
http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#head-0bae04b4126dffb8a08bf020982badacb6f367ff
pointed out to me, which more strongly hints the opposite - that you should run
the development release.

More clarity about this in the instructions presented to users when lodging bug
reports would be a good idea. The barriers are high enough already - yet
another account to register for (openoffice, google code, sourceforge,...),
system to get the hang of, & process to learn. I'd already put this off for
months.

Not a complaint, just a suggestion.

Cheers.
