I needed a cool way to say "Blender Nation" --- "Blenda Naaation" Now I have it Chris, thus giving me ample reason to type in your long url and check out other videos. On topic: Helpful and informative video about bug reporting. I'll admit I'm too lazy to LOOK for bugs, but if I get hit by one, now I know how EASY it is to report. Yes!

You should post a transcript of the video so us BlenderHeads that are slow on the uptake can step through the process at our own speed. Some of us are kind old, you know. :o) Great video!

If it can be reproduced by someone with a different video card (ie you use nvidia they use ati) then it isn't a graphics card bug (graphics card bugs should be reported to your graphics card vendor!!!). 6) if you have some free time - find a bug in the tracker and see if you can reproduce it - if you can reproduce it add a comment to the tracker that you were able to reproduce it and info on what build you were using (ie current svn build; on windows; with NVIDIA 9600 graphics card). If you can't reproduce it - let us know if there isn't enough information in the bug report to reproduce it or if you followed the directions and the bug isn;t in current svn (sometimes bugs will 'fix themselves' due to other fixes etc.) LetterRip Potential bug reporters -

1) you need to have an account before you can file bugs.

2) If you can include a simplified blend file that has just enough stuff to show the bug by doing one step (ie press render to see the render bug; click the button and it crashes) etc.

3) while crash bugs are obviously important - bugs that cause render errors, stuff 'not working', or stuff 'behaving wierdly' can also be filed

4) bugs are 'stuff that worked that doesn't now' - not stuff I think would be cool to have - feature requests should be discussed on forums or emailed to bf-funboard not put in the bug tracker

5) try and have someone else confirm the bug for you in irc or in the forums before submitting the bug - if can be reproduced by someone on a different platform (ie you use windows they use linux) then the bug is cross platform. If it can be reproduced by someone with a different video card (ie you use nvidia they use ati) then it isn't a graphics card bug (graphics card bugs should be reported to your graphics card vendor!!!).

As was already mentioned, I also would like to see a followup how to actually use the bug tracker, submit a bug report or feature request. Ok, it's not too hard to figure out, but it would still be nice to actually see it explained how it's done properly. Great video, Chris, very informative and entertaining!
