I think it would be good to have a link to it on the main page, even if it's
just at the bottom.  Also, it's nearly impossible to find on the "support" page,
where there are 50 other links competeing for your attention.

I'm tempted to say that this is a wontfix for the frontpage.

It was a design decision to reduce the number of available links to a minimum on
the frontpage.

You'll find links to issues when you log-in (on "My Pages") and when visiting
any project (if the project didn't decide to hide it)

I agree that the issueZilla-Link is not easy to find on the support-pages
(actually, there is not link at all on the support-page) - so I guess you meant
the "new user & general info"-page.

So the "suggested" ways of accessing issueZilla are:
1) Follow the link given in the notification issueZilla sends you
2) Log in/use the "My Pages" link
3) visit any project other than www
4) add a "smart bookmark" to your browser's toolbar (that's what I like a lot -
better than any link on a webpage).

So basically I don't see the need for a link to issuezilla for registered users.
But I see the need for a link for those that want to report a bug for the first
time - without knowing that they need to be a registered user to do so.

Thus I think the best location for such a link would be the support-pages
( http://support.openoffice.org/index.html ) and the "new users & general
information" page ( http://www.openoffice.org/about_us/new.html )

The support-page lack a link completey whereas the "new?" page has a link in the
left toolbox ("Report a Bug") and in the body-text.

Maybe the contributing page is another candidate. It already has a QA-Link (with
a bug to smash :-) so this links can probably be renamed to read "QA (Quality
Assurance) / Bug Reporting" or something similar and add a small paragraph to
the description...

Concrete suggestions welcome.
