      <para xml:lang="en">
     If you have found a bug in a MATE application, please
   report it! Developers do read all the bug reports and try to fix
   these bugs. Please try to be as specific as possible when
   describing the circumstances under which the bug shows (What
   commands did you enter? Which buttons did you click?). If there were any
   error messages, be sure to include them, too.  
      </para>

      <para xml:lang="en">
	The easiest way to report bugs is by connecting to the <link xlink:href="https://github.com/mate-desktop/">MATE bug tracking
	database</link>, where you can also browse the list of known bugs. You will need to register before you can submit any bugs this way. 
      </para>
      
      <para xml:lang="en">
	Please note that some of MATE applications are developed outside of MATE, or by
	commercial companies (these products are still free
	software). For example, <application>blueman</application>, a
	bluetooth application, is developed at <link xlink:href="https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/">GitHub</link>. Bug reports and
	comments about these products should be directed to the
	respective organization or company.

      <para xml:lang="en"> 
	If you have a suggestion or want to request a new feature for
      one of the applications, it can also be done using the bug
      tracking database. Submit your suggestion as a bug report as
      described in <xref linkend="feedback-bugs"/> and at the appropriate
      step select <guilabel>Severity: Enhancement</guilabel>.

      <para xml:lang="en"> If you found an inaccuracy or misprint in one of MATE
	documents, or have any comments or suggestions about
	documentation, please let us know! The easiest way of doing so
	is by submitting a bug report as explained before and
	selecting <guilabel>Component: docs</guilabel> at appropriate
	steps (or <guilabel>general</guilabel> if there is no
	<guilabel>docs</guilabel> component). If your comment is about
	general MATE documentation (such as <citetitle>MATE Users
	Guide</citetitle>) rather than specific application manual,
	select <guilabel>Product: mate-user-docs</guilabel>.

      <para xml:lang="en">
	Alternatively, you can just send your comments by email to the
	<link xlink:href="http://ml.mate-desktop.org/listinfo">MATE
	Documentation Project</link> mailing list.
