ECS Technical Information

How to get help

The best way to get help, or to get things fixed if they're broken, is to submit a bug report to the programmers. The easiest way to do this is to email bugs@ecs.vuw.ac.nz. You will get help quicker if you follow the Bug Report Guidelines, so we don't have to spend time communicating with you to ascertain the problem.
