<h2>Problem Report Database</h2>
<p>Current FreeBSD problem reports are tracked using <a
href="http://www.bugzilla.org/">Bugzilla</a>.</p>
<p>A FreeBSD problem report (PR) is not necessarily a bug with FreeBSD
itself. In some cases it may be reporting a mistake in the
documentation (which could be a simple typo). In other cases it may
be a 'wishlist' item that the submitter would like to see incorporated
in to FreeBSD. In many cases a PR contains a port which has been
prepared for inclusion in the FreeBSD
<a href="&base;/ports/index.html">Ports and Packages</a> collection.</p>
<p>Problem reports start 'open', and are closed as the issue they report
is resolved. In addition, each PR is assigned a unique tracking ID
to ensure that it is not lost. Many FreeBSD changes include the
tracking ID of the PR that prompted the change.</p>

<h2>How to Submit A Problem Report</h2>
<p>A problem report, or <em>PR</em>, can be about any component
of FreeBSD, including problems with the operating system programs, a mistake in the
documentation, or a
new feature that the submitter wishes to see incorporated.</p>
<p>Problem reports may be submitted to the development team by using
the web based
<a href="https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi">form</a>.
<p>Problem reports begin in the <em>open</em> state, and are closed when the issue
is resolved. A numeric ID is assigned to each PR for tracking.
Many FreeBSD changes refer to the
PR number that prompted the change.</p>
