It may be worthwhile to see how the software industry files bugs. It is a fascinating structure to development.

I went to: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Bug_writing_guidelines
“Effective bug reports are the most likely to be fixed. These guidelines explain how to write such reports.
* Be precise
* Be clear – explain it so others can reproduce the bug
* One bug per report
* No bug is too trivial to report – small bugs may hide big bugs
* Clearly separate fact from speculation”

================
It is also interesting to hear that bugs are marked as either open, closed or “will not fix”.

I like this idea. It will be interesting to see how news media regard this effort.
