[OWW-Discuss] We have no way to let folks know there's a place to enter bugs...

[Bill Flanagan]

Thanks for the comments. This is great.

I agree with Tom; I use the link as well. We're very lean re: sidebar links
right now. We can add a few more without looking too wordy if we need to.

Let me try Jason's idea of a box.

Reporting a problem isn't the same (to me at least) as sending a comment or
feedback. Both may send a message or post a db record but this is more an
issue of addressing an issue users must be having. Multiplexing a single
link with a select page or doing this as a box both make sense: if you want
to send a message, is it asking too much to click thru a page to get to it?

This would mean we can ask more topics over time. To address the issue
Julius brought up, we can even have some options disabled unless the client
is logged in.
