# Återkoppling

Det här avsnittet innehåller information om hur man rapporterar fel i MATE, skickar in förslag och kommentarer om MATE-program eller dokumentation, och på vilka sätt som du kan hjälpa MATE.

## Rapportera fel

Om du har hittat ett fel i ett av MATE-programmen så rapportera gärna det! Utvecklarna läser alla felrapporter och försöker rätta till dessa fel. Försök vara så specifik som möjligt när du beskriver de förhållanden som felet uppstod under (Vilka kommandon angav du? Vilka knappar klickade du på?). Om det visades några felmeddelanden så bör du även inkludera dem.

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.

## Förslag och kommentarer

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.

## Dokumentationskommentarer

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.

## Gå med i MATE-projektet

Vi hoppas att du tycker om MATE och att du känner dig produktiv när du arbetar med MATE. Dock finns det alltid utrymme för förbättringar.

MATE bjuder in dig att gå med i vår fria programvarugemenskap om du har tid över. Det finns många olika områden. MATE behöver programmerare, men även översättare, dokumentationsförfattare, testare, grafiker, författare och mer.
