== Finding The Right Contact on a Web site ==
For solving the issues, we often need to find the right person on the Web site. It is the hardest part of the work, but it's where you can really make a difference. Some Web sites are written in a language that **'''you** ''' are mastering.Some Web sites are in country where we do not have much context on how to contact the right person. You can help. The open Web is the work of everyone.
There is more than one strategy for finding a person related to a Web compatibility issue. Here are a few:
* Call a phone number of the company, you might be bounced around.
== Negociating Negotiating with the Web site for fixing a Web compatibility issue ==
First of all, this is a negociation negotiation process. People you will try to contact have their own set of constraints and that might be difficult for them to understand, fix the issue. So be nice.
* Never ever be aggressive with the persons you are trying to reach out. We want a better Web, not an angry Web ;).
* Never assume you are contacting the right person, except if you really know you do.
* Do not harrass harass people with a lot of emails (even if they are nice with you). A good rule of thumb is to wait one week in between two contacts. Then a month for the third contact. If nothing has happened during the 5 weeks. Give up.
* Never share publicly the emails, names of people in the bug report if they have not decided to reveal themselves. Sometimes people will be willing to help fixing a Web site without necessary telling their management. Exposing them would make their work more difficult.
* Invite people to participate to the bugzilla themselves.
