    55'''Please be aware''' that we (the core team) receive more bug reports than we can read, let alone resolve, so we tend to focus on tickets which seem important to us - because they impact a lot of people, or some people very severely, or paying customers, or look like something which can be fixed quickly.  Just as we cannot make demands of you, neither can you demand that we work on a particular issue, however important it may seem to you.

    7 Remember also though that !VirtualBox is open source software.  That means that if we are not able to work on a particular issue someone else or you yourself can do so and we can integrate the solution if it does not impact other people.  A good bug ticket is a great aid for whoever chooses to work on a problem.
     7Remember also though that !VirtualBox is open source software.  Fixing bugs is a process of collaboration between reporters who can reproduce and study them and developers who fix them (where the two groups may well overlap).  And if the core team are not able to work on a particular issue someone else or you yourself can do so and we can integrate the solution if it does not impact other people.  A good bug ticket is a great aid for whoever chooses to work on a problem.

    99So bearing that in mind, there are a number of things you can do to '''improve the chances of getting your problem solved'''.
