Hide Forgot
Trying Fedora 15 Beta Live system-settings(?) crashed and abrt started up. Going through the process I finally failed at the dialogue asking to choose if I want to send the data to the bugtracker or logger. It would help a lot, if there was a small explanation behind each option telling the user when to use what.
Should be fixed in the latest abrt.

(In reply to comment #2) > Created attachment 501999 [details] > screenshot of reporters with description Thank you for the screenshot. Unfortunately it is still not clear to me or the user *under what circumstances* they should use the service. Should they just select all options. What is logger? What happens when I select Mailx? There should be a sentence, normally you should report any errors, crashes and improvements to Bugzilla. If you want to contact the developer directly use Mailx. If you have subscription you should contact the Red Hat Customer service, …. I of course made those up.

What happens when I select Mailx? Will it be better if we remove all non-typical reporters in default installation and leave only Bugzilla (for Fedora)?
Jiri pointed out to me (and I verified) that "yum install abrt-desktop" on F15 results in only Logger and Bugzilla reporters being installed, not all four reporters as in the screenshot. So it should be already not-so-confusing now.
Does it make sense to rename Mailx to Email? Logger to <something which is more descriptive>?
I guess we declare this as fixed.
