Pre-wiki methods for reporting a bug or requesting an enhancement

The following options are available for reporting a bug or requesting an enhancement:

  1. Post it on the Wall
  2. Send an e-mail to team@tatoeba.org
  3. Send a private message to one or more of the administrators

However, none of these methods makes it easy to track a request. Unless and until we have a full-fledged tracking system that accepts requests from registered users, it's at least easier to find them by posting them here. I suggest that those who have write access to the wiki keep track of bug and enhancement reports here.

Bugs

  1. Restore old Wall messages. (Scott, Wall.) Response from sysko: this will happen with the new Wall, which will arrive before the new Tatoeba. In the interim, requests for the raw data (for searching) can be sent to him.

  2. In Hebrew, sentence-final punctuation does not always appear at the end of the sentence for all users. (karstenenh, Wall)

  3. The English interface should say "Sentences in [Language A] not translated into English" rather than "Sentences in [Language A] not translated in English" (AlanF_US, Wall)

  4. Nonexistent anchor in FAQ: the FAQ page has a bullet item at the top entitled "How to change the language of a sentence", but the anchor doesn't exist. (AlanF_US, Wall)

  5. [http://en.wiki.tatoeba.org/articles/show/how-to-be-a-good-contributor-in-tatoeba The "how to be a good contributor" wiki page] refers to a missing image. (AlanF_US, private message to sysko)

Enhancements

  1. Make threads on the Wall collapsible. (AlanF_US, Wall.)

  2. Place links to "Help" and "FAQ" at the top of the page, not at the bottom. (AlanF_US, Wall)

  3. Indicate register (degree of formality) of a sentence, perhaps via tags, perhaps in some other way. (webmistusik, Wall)

  4. Make tags translatable. (sacredceltic, Wall)

  5. Search online for sentences with specific tag combinations (e.g., "@needs native check" and "OK"). (AlanF_US, Wall)

  6. Impose mail limits on new users in order to reduce spam. (shanghainese, Wall)

  7. Add captchas for registration of new users. (Guybrush88, Wall) (The thread goes on to suggest other ideas, such as a requirement to post a certain number of sentences.)

  8. Select list for a sentence instantly rather than requiring OK button. (FeuDRenais, Wall)

  9. On the wiki main page, in the right sidebar, under "Article available in:", the first item is "Deutsh". It should be "Deutsch". (AlanF_US, private message to Trang and sysko)

  10. Make a new option "Display orphan sentences" in the settings page and set it "off" by default. (tommy_san, Wall)

  11. Display owner (if any) next to sentence. (AlanF_US, Wall)

  12. Segregate sentences by learners from sentences by natives. (alexmarcelo and others, Wall)

  13. Make it easy to request translations of specific sentences by natives. (tommy_san, Wall)

  14. Rolling over a tag should show username rather than user number (ID) of contributor who left tag. (AlanF_US, Wall)

  15. Provide a function that lets you search for existing duplicates or near-duplicates of a sentence that you're about to submit, ideally without disturbing your workflow. (AlanF_US, Wall)
