[PD-dev] "report bug" on the Help menu

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey,

I just added a new item on the Help menu that I think y'all should  
agree is useful.  It is called "report bug" and it currently takes  
you directly to the SourceForge bug submission.

My friend Shawn Van Every proposed that we use a little javascript to  
open the sourceforge bug submission page that automatically fills in  
the text area with information from Pd.  For example, it could easily  
post the version number, operating system, CPU, etc.  He sketched out  
how to do it, but I basically don't know web programming at all.

Can anyone put this together?  I am thinking that it would be a page  
on puredata.info, the "report bug" menu item would open that  
puredata.info page with info in the URL. This page then opens the  
sourceforge page and sticks that info in it.  Feel free to find a  
better way.  Here are the sketches:
