@ -27,10 +27,10 @@ Please follow these guidelines to create helpful bug reports:</p>
<li>After you have established this is a unique bug, make your information as accurate as possible:<br><br>
<ul>
<li>Include basic information such as how you are testing Haiku (on real hardware, on VMWare, on QEMU, etc.).<br><br></li>
<li>Mention which revision from SVN you are running. You can find this information in '<i>About This System...</i>' from the Deskbar menu.<br><br></li>
<li>Mention which revision from <acronym title="Subversion, the source code management system we use">SVN</acronym> you are running. You can find this information in '<i>About This System...</i>' from the Deskbar menu.<br><br></li>
<li>Describe the problem you are experiencing. Try to be as accurate as you can: describe the actual behavior, and the behavior you expected.<br><br></li>
<li>Describe what steps you need to perform in order to expose the bug. This will help developers reproduce the bug.<br><br></li>
<li>Attach as much information as you have. If it is a GUI bug, or a bug in one of the applications, try to make a screen shot (the <tt>PRINT</tt> key files a PNG into <tt>/boot/home/</tt>).<br>If it is a hardware problem, include a copy of the <tt>syslog</tt> file (just query for "<tt>syslog</tt>" to find it).</li>

</ul></li><br>
<li>After the bug has been reported, a developer will look at your bug and try to classify it. Remember, we are all volunteers, and as such, sometimes a bug report might go unanswered for a while. Adding new information when it becomes available usually helps getting a bug picked up quicker, but do not try to 'bump' the bug up by adding non-descriptive comments.<br><br></li>
<li>Remember, reporting a bug is not something you spend a little time on and then you are done. If you reported a bug, then you are part of the Haiku development process. Developers might come up with questions while they are trying to fix your bug. Please stay around to answer these. Consider your participation 'done' when the bug is marked as 'fixed'. Together we can improve Haiku, bit by bit.

<p>Haiku's graphical user interface is an integral part of the system. Unlike unix-based operating systems, there's no separate window manager and booting just into a command line shell is not possible. Haiku's focus being on the desktop user, this is just not considered necessary.
</p><p>As you probably have experience with other graphical environments, let's skip over the standards like menus, right-click context menus, drag&drop etc. Let's have a look at the few unique aspects of Haiku's GUI instead.</p>
</p><br>
<p>Before we start with that, there's one more thing you'll probably run into quite quickly: By default, Haiku's option key, to invoke commands from menus for example, is not the usual <tt>CTRL</tt> key, but <tt>ALT</tt> instead. This has historical reasons, because the BeOS was inspired somewhat by MacOS. After you get used to it, it actually feels better as e.g. <tt>ALT+C</tt> and <tt>ALT+V</tt> is reached more conveniently on the keyboard and these commands seemlessly integrate into the bash shell of the Terminal.
