SUGGESTIONS AND BUG REPORTS

       Any bugs  found  should  be  reported  to  the  online  bug-tracking  system  available  on  the  web  at
       http://code.google.com/p/ardesia/issues/list.  Before  reporting bugs, please check to see if the bug has
       already been reported.

       When reporting Ardesia bugs, it is important to include a reliable way  to  reproduce  the  bug,  version
       number  of Ardesia (and probably GTK+), OS name and version, and any relevant hardware specs. If a bug is
       causing a crash, it is very useful if a stack trace can be provided. And of course,  patches  to  rectify
       the bug are even better.
