If the issue is not mentioned, open a new Bug and state how you think Ardour could become better (remember to use clear language be specific and verbose in you description - we have a hard time reading minds). If you find that Ardour does not cater for your needs, please look in the Mantis database to see if anyone has requested the feature you need, and put your vote on it.

Many bugs get reported here too, but are normally re-reported to Mantis, our bugtracker (see below). This is where developers and technical users discuss substantive design issues with ardour. There are sometimes more general discussions about topics like recording technique, audio interface selection, etc. This is an active list, with many helpful and knowledgeable users around to help guide less experienced people. When necessary, people report new issues and ideas to the developers mailing list. This is where users and some developers discuss all kinds of problems and ideas related to using Ardour.
