Comment:

 After an IRC chat with erikos and mick_laptop it seems that the best
 approach will be:

 A "Feedback" Control Panel (or possibly an Activity) which displays a
 simple form containing "What happened, What did you expect to happen, Your
 email address" etc with a submit button.

 Upon submission it would upload the form notes and applicable log files to
 a new Trac ticket under the "feedback" component using a special
 "feedback" account that we set up.

 Alternately, it should support posting the information via a simple XML
 post to a simple PHP script running on XS.  That way it could be used
 internally by deployments without forcing them to install Trac.

 The submission method and server should probably be chosen by GConf or a
 configuration file.

 The reason to have this system in addition to Trac is to give "casual
 testers" a way to report bugs without having to create a new Trac account,
 choose a component, etc.  The difference between Feedback and Bug report
 is that Bug report implies some kind of triage / knowledge about the bug.
 Feedback is just a simple "Hey, this didn't work" notice.

 That said, I still think we need a Bug report link in the SoaS browse
 homepage ASAP.  It can just go to dev.sugarlabs.org.  I'll open a second
 ticket with the Sugar component to address the Feedback CP / Activity.
