+ <title>Reporting New Bugs</title>
+ <p>User reports of bugs and requests for enhancements are extremely
+important parts of FOP development, and we appreciate the time you take to help
+us track these issues down.
+To help us ensure that the bug database is as useful as it should be, please
+use the following checklist if you are considering reporting a new bug:</p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>Is your issue really a request to comply with some aspect of the
+XSL-FO standard?
+If so, please do not enter a bug report.
+The developers already carefully track which standard requirements have been
+implemented.
+Other enhancement requests are welcome (although they are not technically
+"bugs", they are entered and tracked in the same system -- just be sure to mark
+the issue as an enhancement).</li>
+ <li>Is your issue addressed by an <link
+href="http://xml.apache.org/fop/faq.html">FAQ</link>? If so, please do not
+enter a bug report unless the FAQ did not adequately address your issue.</li>
+ <li>Has this bug already been reported?
+See section above for a list of bugs that have already been reported.
+If the bug has already been reported, please do not open a new bug report.
+Reporting the same bug twice will only slow the development team down.
+However, if you have insight that may help developers track an existing problem,
+please add comments and/or file attachments to the existing bug.</li>
+ <li>Do you know how to write a good bug report?
+Please review the
+<link href="http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/bugwritinghelp.html">Apache Bug
+Writing Guidelines</link> before submitting your report.</li>
+ <li>If, and only if, you have passed all of the above steps, please
+enter a new bug report at
+<link href="http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fop">The
+FOP bug database (Bugzilla)</link>.
+You will be asked to login to an existing Bugzilla account or to create a new
+one.
+When entering the bug report, please make your description complete and concise.
+If appropriate, attach a minimal fo file to your report which demonstrates the
+problem.</li>
+ <li>After submission, a copy of your bug report will be automatically
+sent to the FOP developer discussion list.</li>
+ </ul>
