v87 v88 6 6 7 7 * '''Remember''' that !VirtualBox has a huge '''community''' with lots of '''highly skilled programmers''' in it. The core team is small and busy and the number of users with bug reports is large. But there might well be someone else out there with the same problem as you and the skills to fix it (or willing to work for contract - crowdfunding?). 8 * '''Remember''' that you can still do a lot of work on a bug even if you can't program by '''studying and isolating''' it. '''Problems which developers can reproduce''' quickly and easily are much more likely to be fixed than problems which only happen on certain systems, or require installing special software in special virtual machines. So look for '''simpler ways of triggering''' the problem. 8 9 * '''Try out a [wiki:Testbuilds test build]''' to see if the problem has already been fixed. 9 10 * '''Do some research''' (e.g. using search engines, our [http://forums.virtualbox.org forums] and [search:?link&q=&ticket=on existing bug tickets]) before creating a ticket. Try to '''solve as much of the problem''' as you can yourself or in collaboration with other users.
