#419: Make web page links to NumPy bug report (ticket) system

 The NumPy bug reporting system is hard to find on the web and hard to use.
 This ticket requests some changes to simplify bug reporting for new users.

 Could you add a link to the NumPy project web page http://numpy.scipy.org/
 that goes to the bug reporting page (developer project page)
 http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/numpy?

 Since the Trac ticket system will be unfamiliar to most users it would be
 helpful to make a separate bug reporting page that says a bug report is
 called a "ticket".  It should have a search form for searching tickets, a
 link to view a list of active tickets, and an explanation saying you must
 login to create a new ticket / bug report and have a link to register.
 Currently you don't even see the "New Ticket" tab unless you have logged
 in.

 The sourceforge NumPy download page has bug tracking for numarray, no
 numarray downloads, and no numpy bug tracking.  This is needlessly
 confusing.  Could numarray bug tracking be moved to a separate numarray
 sourceforge project?  Could the sourceforge bug tracker summary page have
 a sentence saying bug tracking is handled at scipy.org and have a link to
 that bug tracking page?
