Description Kim Moir

Going to the new http://www.eclipse.org/users/ page, it is impossible to find the bugzilla database.  If I were a user, trying to determine if a bug has already been reported or looking to open up a new one .. I can't seem to find a link from the users's page.

Look under Projects, Resources, Training, Events, Portals, Resources.  Nope, no link to bugzilla.  

If obfuscating links to bugzilla is strategy to reduce the bugload on committers, I heartily support it.  I personally am looking for a bug bailout :-)

If not, I thought I'd point it out.  One of Eclipse customer support reps noticed it this morning and I thought I'd pass it on :-)

Agreed.

Nate, can we work this into an existing icon on the /users page?  I could actually see a new icon called "Get Involved" with a link to:
- Report Bugs
- Source Code (which links to the Wiki CVS_HowTo page)
- Nightly Builds (http://www.eclipse.org/epp/download.php)


While we're there, can we change the Documentation link to point to http://www.eclipse.org/documentation/ instead?  That page provides links to older version docs.

I've added Get Involved with the 3 links to the users page.

Marking bug as FIXED.  Reopen if you have further concerns about bugzilla not being found easily enough.

What do you think about this:
