Note: Work in progress
A bugtracker is a software application used by developers for keeping tracks of reported bugs in their work.
Bugtrackers benefits
Bugtrackers give both developers and users a lot of benefits.
Developers:
- They are notified when a bug is found in their applications
- They keep track of reported bugs so that they can organize their work
- They can easily communicate with reporters if they need more information or further testing
Users:
- They can easily report the bugs they find and help to fix them
- They can give developers tips and suggestions
Validity criteria for bugtrackers and bugtrackers links
Requirement proposal: After clicking bugtracker link, you can start filing a bug right away or just after clicking one link at maximum at the page that opens. --ossipena 09:38, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
Requirement proposal: Bug report has to be directly notified to the maintainer. --torpedo48 9:57, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

- A link to a product dedicated page in another known bugtracker (e.g. Google Code, Gitorious, etc.)
- A link to a Garage bugtracker (e.g. https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/?group_id=xxxx)
- A mailto link (just for small applications)
- A link to an opened thread about the application in talk.maemo.org (e.g. http://talk.maemo.com/showthread=xxxxxx)
