screenshot of the "select product" text on bugzilla

When filing a bug, we see these words:

First, you must pick a product on which to enter a bug:

Koha:	Koha - Free Software ILS
Koha security:	Security bugs for Koha. Please use this product ONLY if you are reporting a security bug that should be held in confidence prior to the release of a fix.
Project Infrastructure:	For logging bugs related to the Koha project infrastructure. Not Koha itself. You almost certainly don't want to log a bug here, but under the Koha project.


I find "Pick a product" and "Use this product" to be a bit confusing in this context.

Here's some alternative phrasing to consider.

First, you need to decide where to enter a bug:

Koha: Koha Free Software ILS (integrated library system) 
Koha security: Security bugs for Koha. Use this ONLY if you are reporting a security big that should be held in confidence prior to the release of a fix. 
Project Infrastructure: Bugs related to the Koha project infrastructure (eg bugzilla, gitlab, or the project website. Not for Koha itself. You almost certainly don't want to log a bug here, but under the Koha project.

Hello Donna,
It's a bugzilla wording. As we host it we could fix it, but it will need we are forking.

CCing Chris to get his opinion on this and let us know if it is worth the effort.

If I recall this came from a discussionat Koha con to make it easier for users/newbies to file a bug

maybe just a link on the mainpage to "File a Koha Bug" directly and avoid this choice screen all together?

I like the idea of a 'File a koha bug' link.

I am not sure if we should hide away the choice screen altogether as it would hide the 'security' vs. normal Koha bugs as well.
