We are happy for everybody who
volunteers in testing the J.I.M. You really don't need much expertise in
programming & technical things to do so effectivly. Of course, we
are happy on any technical hint or evaluation on a bug that leads to a
fix, but the recognition & precise reporting of a bug is more
important and helpful than that. This is because most bugs can be solved
quite easily if you identified them & know how to reproduce them.
To volunteer & to become part of
the J.I.M community download our latest testing release. If you feel
uncomfortable with posting a bug, please try our latest stable release
(not out yet ;-) )

Help / Forum
In recent history, I (asac) received a good amount
of private mail asking for help or support. In consequence, I decided to set
up a forum to
add a low barrier communication channel for all user discussion.
For now, I allowed anonymous postings, so please honor this and stick to
public communication channels for help, support and all other requests ...
thus:
=> post your request in the forum
Help / IRC
Join our #jxtaim channel on freenode (server: irc.freenode.net) and for now, be patient.

Bug
Writing
As posting bugs is most important for the propagation of a bug, the way
of writing a bug is most important the worthness of such a report.
Please remember when posting a bug, that we must read & understand
it. In order to fix a bug, a developer needs to know:
- in exactly what situation have you
been when you encountered the bug.
- what was the behaviour that led you
to the conclusion that this was a bug.
- Can you reproduce the bug? Please
state what steps you have to do in order to reproduce it.
- Are there any exceptions in the log
file (JIM.log) that occur during bug exposure?? please append them to
the bug report. If you can reproduce the bug after restart & you
feel unconforatble about reading the JIM.log, please restart with prior
deletion of the JIM.log file (in the installation directory). then
reproduce the bug and attach the log file to the bug report.
- In addition to report coding bugs,
you are encourage to post any inusabilities you recipate. Consider to
post a RFE if you like to see some fundamental changes in user
interface design/usability or functionality.
Please,
remember!! Bug Posting cannot be unified like other things. Stay
in tune with the bug you posted & answer request from developers
that need more information on that issue. You can subscribe to the
Tracker Mailing list to monitor progress on your bug, or create a sf
account, which will automatically monitor bugs you posted to our bug
tracking system.
