+
+Here's the place where I may bring back to attention the proposed
+system of helpers in the user forums. People who help unexperienced
+users to write bug reports and will also help them along if the devs
+ask questions during the lifetime of that bug in bugzilla. A user who
+has done this once (ideally from the start of a bug until its end)
+will be eager to do it again when he stumbles across another bug. He
+will also be eager to "teach" his new knowledge to other users. This
+way we will get a larger community of "bug reporters" than by any
+documents.
+
+There must not be  a fixed "Bug Friends" group, this "mentoring" can
+be done by all experienced users.
