The "Report an issue with Elementary OS" button leads to 140 repositories and no direction. If that link could instead go to a doc that gives a bit of direction, that would really help a ton.

It already exists within the system, open the System Settings and go to the System section, then you have a Send feedback button Capture d'écran du 2022-03-18 08 37 32@2x this leads you to a step-by-step process and it then redirects you to the right repository

This is cool. You guys should replace the super unhelpful "Report an issue with Elementary OS" button with directions towards this answer.

@SephReed can you elaborate on where you're seeing this button?

SephReed commented 2 years ago

Here's the flow I've ended up in a few times:

Search Google (featured top hit is lame, sorry about that): https://www.google.com/search?q=elementary+os+issues
Go to top non-featured hit (Issues for EOS): https://github.com/elementary/os/issues
New Issue: https://github.com/elementary/os/issues/new/choose
Follow the third link. Not really any directions from here.. 140 repos is best bet: https://github.com/elementary

Ah sorry, not sure how I missed that from your original report. I've created #619 to point to our contributor guide instead of dumping you in our github org
