<p>Before submitting bug reports, suggestions, and feature requests, or |
17 |
requesting support, or collaborating with us, we require you to become a <a href="http://www.sourceforge.net">SourceForge</a> |
18 |
registered user. We hope that this is a minimal inconvenience. The <a href="http://www.sourceforge.net">SourceForge</a> |
19 |
new user registration process begins at <a href="http://sourceforge.net/account/register.php">this |
20 |
web page</a> and is straightforward.</p> |
21 |
<p>Note that if you simply download and use any of the materials provided, we do |
22 |
<b>not</b> require you to register. You only must register if you wish to |
23 |
report a bug, make a suggestion, request a new feature, request support, or |
24 |
collaborate.</p> |
25 |
<p>In a nutshell, the reason we require registration is that the registration is |
26 |
required to take full advantage of the resources provided by <a href="http://www.sourceforge.net">SourceForge</a>. |
27 |
The detailed reasons are:</p> |
28 |
<ul> |
29 |
<li>You <i>must</i> register to use to use the bug tracker, feature request |
30 |
tracker, or support tracker at <a href="http://www.sourceforge.net">SourceForge</a>. |
31 |
These database systems are the most convenient way for us to process the |
32 |
information, requests, or suggestions you might submit.</li> |
33 |
<li>Registration gives us a simple and reliable way to contact you (through |
34 |
your <a href="http://www.sourceforge.net">SourceForge</a> mail alias). |
35 |
Without registration, we would need to collect personal information, which |
36 |
is unwieldly.</li> |
37 |
<li>If you desire to collaborate with us, registration is required so that you |
38 |
can make CVS commits and perform other collaborative tasks.</li> |
39 |
</ul> |
