[HOT] step by step recipe for iD bug reporting

[Charlotte Wolter]

Carl,

         That sounds like we're getting closer to a solution, and
putting it under "Instructions" makes sense. It would be even
better if there were a button, labeled "Report a Problem" somewhere
in the Tasking Manager. (something for the future)
         I would just write a draft "Problem Report" myself, but
I don't know what those who would fix a problem would need to
know, except the obvious stuff:

         User Name:
         Date:
         Time (with your time zone):
         Task Number:
              (Actually there are two, the big task and the little 
square they were working on. Too bad we can't capture this automatically)
         Operating system (?):
         Computer brand (?):
