Help needed on the bug reports on gnucash reports?

Hi Carsten,

Thank you for your offer to help us with the bug reports.

In addtition to your proposed suggestions, I would also like to add:
- if there's not enough information to reproduce a bug, ask the original 
reporter for more details. Often a gnucash trace file helps already (1)
- in general make sure a bug report is complete: is the platform given 
(linux/windows/mac, 32 bit/64bit, what happened, does it happen alway, how to 
reproduce,...)
- find duplicate bugs and mark them as such
- ...

The other developers may has some additional suggestions.

Note that I have moved your question to the gnucash-devel mailing list since 
it is development related.

Thanks again for volunteering.

Geert


(1) Where to find the gnucash trace file depends a bit on the user's platform. 
Here is a link I usually provide to the bug submitters for more details:
