bug reporting - How do I report a paper cut?



I've seen this project called One Hundred Paper Cuts, and I'd like to report a paper cut, but don't know how. Can someone please tell me how to go about doing this.



Reporting a paper cut is just like reporting a normal bug, which is explained here.




Once you've reported the bug according to those guidelines, there are a few more steps to follow to upgrade it to a paper cut.




  • Add a task for the One Hundred Paper Cuts project by clicking on the "Also affects project" link at the bottom of the list of affected projects, marked here in red:

Click on the link marked in red to "Choose another project". When you do that, you will see the following dialog:

  • Enter hundredpapercuts as the affected project and click Continue, and you will see the following:

The bug is now reported as a paper cut.
