 That was one thing, another thing is to test the application and report bugs. For writing bug reports there are some minimum steps to take into account.

-So the first place to let developers know about what you think and miss from their application is on the [[http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce|xfce users mailing list]]. It's public and every one can read and comment it, but you can also send them private messages, they all put their email addresses in the applications you use. Interesting topics will usually be asked to be put on the bug tracking system which brings us to the second place that is on [[http://bugzilla.xfce.org/|Bugzilla]]. You need to create an account in order to create new bugs, and when you do you can select the component and the severity between "//normal//" and "//enhancement//".+So the first place to let developers know about what you think and miss from their application is on the [[https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce|xfce users mailing list]].
