The first thing you'll have to do is log in to GitHub, which Sugar Labs uses as its '''ticket system.''' [https://github.com/sugarlabs/sugar/issues].
The first thing you'll have to do is log into our '''ticket system.''' This is a piece of software that keeps track of all our tickets for us.

Our instance of Trac is at {{Iframe|http://bugs.sugarlabs.org - go ahead and click that link, or this one: |http://bugs.sugarlabs.org|900|600|1}}

You're almost there! It's a good idea to preview your ticket before you file it, in order to see what it will look like - click the '''Preview''' button first.  You may notice formatting or other problems in the description, so take the time to review your submission because once you create the ticket, the original description can't be modified (only the Summary/Title can be changed). You can always add replies and comments that are tracked chronologically along with other field changes.
