We've only grabbed error codes where we can find/recommend a solution, but when it comes from crawlers we always link to the source as well to avoid copyright issues. How are you working around that in your case? Are they coming from local sources rather than websites? (Admittedly, I doubt these companies are too worried about their error documentation being quoted in full.)
Best of luck to you! I like to see more attention to this area, no doubt.
- cmars232 18y agoDespite the benign assurances of the site, having to type my email address in bug.gd is annoying. I disagree with "forcing community participation" like this... how do I even know there would even be enough content on your site to make it worth my time?
- thorax 18y agoAs much as I love hearing feedback (thanks!), I don't really want to get a side thread going about our site in this other team's thread. Not really fair to them. As briefly as I can: The Firefox extension allows anonymous search/contribution. Stay tuned for changes more to your liking in our next site release.
- delano 18y agoYou could suggest that they change their approach in getting the email address but the concept of reminding you to reply with your fix to that error is good.
- cmars232 18y agoI completely agree, its a good feature if its optional.
