Users
Testers
Bug reporting and feature requests are done using GNOME's Bugzilla interface. You will need a bugzilla account to file bugs and comment on them. See also bug tracking for some useful links for searching PiTiVi's bug list.
- To report a bug/problem in the software: bug report form
- To request a new feature/enhancement: enhancement request form
- Remember to take a look at the existing list of bugs/feature requests to see if your problem has already been reported (hint: use the control+F functionality of your browser!)
If you need to report a crash bug, try to provide the debug log when possible. This can be obtained by running pitivi with this command:
PITIVI_DEBUG=*:5 GST_DEBUG=2 bin/pitivi > debug.log 2>&1

Discussing
Mailing list
To discuss features, implementation details, or simply get some help, subscribe to the mailing list. This is roughly the equivalent of a forum that uses your email account. There is not a lot of traffic on the mailing list, so you will not be overwhelmed by mail (at least until we reach world domination status).
- Subscribe here, and send your messages to pitivi-pitivi at lists.sourceforge.net. If your email client supports it, use the "reply to list" feature (ex: ctrl+L in Evolution).

Chatting
Grab an IRC client (such as xchat-gnome or Pidgin) and ...
- connect to the server irc.freenode.net
- join the channel (room) #pitivi.
Do not hesitate to ask questions, and do not panic if somebody doesn't answer your question immediately. A few of our devs maintain a persistent connection to IRC even when away from the computer, and will most likely try to answer your question if you're still online, even if it may be later during the day.
If you need to speak to someone in particular, you may try mentioning the nickname, such as "bilboed", "emdash", "twi" (main developers), or "nekohayo" (tester and designer) if they are online.
