[pmwiki-users] How to report bugs

[Benoit Dutilleul]

Hello !

One suggestion and one question:
[1] What about adding a footer to messages posted through this list to
promote the page "How to get help?"
[2] Would there be a way to have pmwiki-users messages "poured" into a
specific pmwiki group so that they would be searchable through the same
system?

Cheers,

Benoit

Wanderer, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more; wanderer, there is
no road, the road is made by walking. By walking one makes the road, and
upon glancing behind one sees the path that never will be trod again.
Wanderer, there is no road-- Only wakes upon the sea. -- Antonio Machado
