In my day to day usage of apps I often run into little annoyances. I know I should be filing bugs but I instead did the next best thing and created a rant usability page that lists the things I wish I could do in an application but couldn’t. The idea is to have a quick place to jot down notes and then review them later for possible bug filing. I think everyone should do something similar as it provides a stream of conscious map of how people use the desktop and the little things that they may not feel is worth filing but are most likely the key to making the Linux desktop experience more enjoyable. It also allows a user to get out their frustrations in their own forum and then come back and file a more useful bug without the static of emotions.

A little mistake in your post. You have “src” instead of “href” in your link. Cheers.

Fully agree – I found it very useful to keep a personal bug list, for preparing bug reports for submission, and for remembering which problems occur on some system.
