# Зворотній зв'язок

Цей розділ містить інформацію з питань звітності про помилки в середовищі MATE, внесення пропозицій і зауважень про програми або документацію MATE, та способи, якими ви можете допомогти проектові MATE.

## Звіти про помилки

If you have found a bug in a MATE application, please report it! Developers do read all the bug reports and try to fix these bugs. Please try to be as specific as possible when describing the circumstances under which the bug shows (what commands did you enter? which buttons did you click?). If there were any error messages, be sure to include them, too.

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.

## Пропозиції та коментарі

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.

## Коментарі щодо документації

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.
