这一部分包含了如何向 MATE 报告 bug、提出建议、评价 MATE 程序或文档，以及各种帮助 MATE 的方式的信息，

## 报告 Bug

如果您发现任何一个 MATE 应用程序中存在的 bug，请报告！开发人员会阅读所有错误报告并尝试修复。请您尽可能准确的描述错误发生的环境（比如您输入了什么命令？点击了哪些按钮？）如果出现过什么错误提示信息，请把它们一起放在报告中。

The easiest way to report bugs is by using Bug Buddy, MATE's built-in bug reporting tool. This will launch automatically in the event that an application crashes. The details MATE developers need are automatically collected, but you can further help by giving information about what you were doing when the crash took place.

You can also submit bugs and browse the list of known bugs by connecting to the MATE bug tracking database. You will need to register before you can submit any bugs this way — and do not forget to read Bug Writing Guidelines.

Please note that some of MATE applications are developed outside of MATE, or by commercial companies (these products are still free software). For example, Inkscape, a vector graphics application, is developed at SourceForge. Bugs reports and comments about these products should be directed to the respective organization or company. If you are using Bug Buddy, it will automatically send bug reports to the correct database.

## 建议和评论

If you have a suggestion or want to request a new feature for one of the applications, it can also be done using the bug tracking database. Submit your suggestion as a bug report as described in and at the appropriate step select Severity: Enhancement.

## 文档注释

If you found an inaccuracy or misprint in one of MATE documents, or have any comments or suggestions about documentation, please let us know! The easiest way of doing so is by submitting a bug report as explained before and selecting Component: docs at appropriate steps (or general if there is no docs component). If your comment is about general MATE documentation (such as MATE Users Guide) rather than specific application manual, select Product: mate-user-docs.

Alternatively, you can just send your comments by email to the MATE Documentation Project mailing list; our address is mate-doc-list@gnome.org. And by the way: if you are not a developer but want to help MATE — join the GDP and help us improve MATE documentation.

## 加入 MATE 项目

我们希望您在使用 MATE 的过程中感到愉悦，并希望 MATE 系列软件能够在工作中助您一臂之力。但是，软件总是可以改进的。

如果您有空闲时间，MATE 邀请您加入我们的自由软件社区。您可以做出贡献的方式有很多。MATE 需要程序员，但也需要翻译者、文档撰写者、测试者、美工、作家等等。
