DrKonqi is a great tool to report bugs, it is much easier to use than the web-frontend. But it is only invoked when an application crashes. There should be an option to start it as a stand-alone-application to report bugs or wishes.

yeah, good idea!
I think the kmess system is a very good way to implement this idea!

Just look at this idea:
brainstorm.php#idea61796

what about that way of implementing? (bad bad english, sorry)

That is a great idea!
There are different possible solutions:
-KWin: Pro: independent from compiling the applications, Con: Does not have all the possibilities in the apps and information about the apps
-Implementation in KMainWindow: Pro: Has proper possibilities to add the buttons somewhere and can access application-information Con: It does not know anything about different KParts
-Implementation in KParts: I think it is possible to tell the bug-tracking system something about the affected KPart, but I do not know how

It should be a combination:
The KMainWindow should create the buttons, provide a screenshot-function and invoke the dialog, when there are KParts, the user should be able to choose the component.
But first of all a KMainWindow-solution would be good. KPart-selection and screenshots would be nice extras.
But also with this integration a stand-alone-application would sometimes be useful.

great idea, DrKonqi is too god to be used only when crash happens !

Well, there is also KBugBuster. But DrKonqi's interface is much easier to use. Maybe a combination would be possible.

Help -> Report a bug

;-)

Sorry, but the web-interface is somehow ugly.

The idea of integrating the KMess system is detailed here (too): brainstorm.php?mode=idea&i=61796#anchormain

Some general thoughts:
Bugzilla wizard is going to be revamped/updated with the bugzilla system upgrade to the latest version.

Right now, DrKonqi is too much backtrace-centric; rework it to get a bug/wish reporting tool would be a lot of work I think. It could be done if I get some help about designing it; however I don't have too much time for it right now, Improving the current crash handler is my priority.
