For anyone needing support using Gramps open source genealogy software, please visit the Gramps Forum, powered by Discourse. Our community will gladly help you.

Reporting bugs

The recommended way to report a bug is to use the Gramps Bug Tracker, see How to report bugs. This allows the Gramps Developers to follow a formal method of tracking and resolving your report. Due to the high volume of email that the primary developers receive, there is always a chance that an email may slip through the cracks. Using the bug tracker will make sure that your issue will be handled.

Submitting a Bug Report directly to the Gramps Bugs mailing list is not recommended. However, if you are having problems isolating a bug or suspect that your issue is a known bug, the mail-list is a forum that might help.

Requesting enhancements

Requesting an enhancement, we would prefer that serious requests get submitted to the bug tracker. This allows us to formally track the request. Create a feature request on the Gramps Bug Tracker, you switch to Project: Feature Requests on the top right corner, and select Report Issue.

Alternatively you can informally ask through the gramps-users or gramps-devel mailing lists, but as mentioned use the bug tracker to create a feature request please.

Wiki, Website/Blog

The Gramps Wiki documentation is a community project. If you notice that documentation is: outdated, incomplete, entirely missing, or not yet translated into your native language; request a WikiContributor account and help us improve!

Editing MediaWiki pages can be a frustrating skill to learn. After logging in to your account, you can start by raising questions or making suggestions on the Discussion pages. We'll help you with the actual editing while you learn the tools.

Reporting problems with the contact applications

For problems relating to the Gramps site and the applications used to support Gramps, contact the Webmaster or raise the issue on the developer maillist described below.
