<p>Well, bugs or missing features are always possible, and I will make a
point of fixing them in a timely fashion. The best way to report a bug is to
use the <a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=libxml">Gnome
bug tracking database</a> (make sure to use the "libxml2" module name). I
look at reports there regularly and it's good to have a reminder when a bug
is still open. Be sure to specify that the bug is for the package libxml2.</p>
<p>There is also a mailing-list <a href="mailto:xml@gnome.org">xml@gnome.org</a> for libxml, with an <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/">on-line archive</a> (<a href="http://xmlsoft.org/messages">old</a>). To subscribe to this list,
please visit the <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml">associated Web</a> page and
follow the instructions. <strong>Do not send code, I won't debug it</strong>
(but patches are really appreciated!).</p>
<p>Check the following <strong><span style="color: #FF0000">before
posting</span></strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Read the <a href="FAQ.html">FAQ</a> and <a href="search.php">use the
search engine</a> to get informations related to your problem.</li>
<li>Make sure you are <a href="ftp://xmlsoft.org/">using a recent
version</a>, and that the problem still shows up in a recent version.</li>
<li>Check the <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/">list
archives</a> to see if the problem was reported already. In this case
there is probably a fix available, similarly check the <a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=libxml">registered
open bugs</a>.</li>
<li>Make sure you can reproduce the bug with xmllint or one of the test
programs found in source in the distribution.</li>
<li>Please send the command showing the error as well as the input (as an
attachment)</li>
</ul>
<p>Then send the bug with associated informations to reproduce it to the <a href="mailto:xml@gnome.org">xml@gnome.org</a> list; if it's really libxml
related I will approve it.. Please do not send mail to me directly, it makes
things really hard to track and in some cases I am not the best person to
answer a given question. Ask the list instead.</p>
<p>Of course, bugs reported with a suggested patch for fixing them will
probably be processed faster than those without.</p>
<p>If you're looking for help, a quick look at <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xml/">the list archive</a> may actually
provide the answer. I usually send source samples when answering libxml usage
questions. The <a href="http://xmlsoft.org/html/book1.html">auto-generated
documentation</a> is not as polished as I would like (i need to learn more
about DocBook), but it's a good starting point.</p>
