   * [http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/newticket Submit patches, bug reports, and feature requests].  Please:
    - '''[/trac/boost/search?ticket=on search] first''' to avoid creating duplicates.
+   - Use the [../settings Settings] link at the top of this page to let us know your email address even if you don't have a Trac userid.  Otherwise we won't be able to follow up with you about your bug report.
    - Do not suggest features unless you can identify a particular Boost library in which they belong—new libraries [http://www.boost.org/more/submission_process.htm arise differently].
   * [http://svn.boost.org/svnmanager Change your Subversion password]
 
 '''Note''': Boost is in the process of migrating from several CVS repositories to a single, unified Subversion repository. Until this migration process is complete, not all of the instructions on this wiki will be 100% correct. For more information about the Boost Subversion migration, see MigrationToSubversion.

+== Getting a Trac/SVN Userid ==
+
+Trac userids can be had on request by sending email to [mailto:boost-owner-AT-lists.boost.org] describing your role.  Userids are normally granted to maintainers and authors of prospective (“sandbox”) and accepted Boost libraries, people working on the Boost website, and people contributing significant content to this Wiki.  When you get your userid '''please use the [../settings Settings] link at the top of this page to enter your email address.''' Unless you take this step, tickets can't be assigned to you and any bugs you report will appear to be from an unreachable anonymous user.  If you get Subversion access your SVN userid and pasword will be the same as your Trac userid and password. 
+
+If you are just submitting bug reports, you probably don't need a Trac userid, but '''please use the [../settings Settings] link at the top of this page to enter your email address''' before submitting your report. Unless you take this step, we won't be able to follow up with you about your issue (and we often need more information in order to do anything useful with a report) and you won't be notified of progress or changes to its status.
