+<h2 id="steps">Steps for Submitting a Feature Request</h2>
+
+<p>
+The following guides you step-by-step through the
+process of submitting a feature request.
</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<strong><a href="http://www.tigris.org/servlets/Login">Log in</a> at tigris.org</strong>
+<p>
+If you do not already have a tigris.org account,
+you can register for one at
+<a href="http://www.tigris.org/servlets/Join">http://www.tigris.org/servlets/Join</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+You can still submit a feature request anonymously, without logging in.
+If you choose not to create a tigris.org account,
+putting some identifying contact information
+in the description will be helpful in case
+the feature request requires some clarification.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<strong>Go to the "Enter issue" page at
+<a href="http://scons.tigris.org/issues/enter_bug.cgi?subcomponent=scons&issue_type=FEATURE">http://scons.tigris.org/issues/enter_bug.cgi?subcomponent=scons&issue_type=FEATURE</a>
+</strong>
+<p>
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<strong>Fill in a good Summary line describing the feature you're requesting</strong>
+<p>
+This line is what shows up in summary reports,
+so it should be descriptive but not too long.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<strong>Fill in the Description field</strong>
+<p>
+This is where you should go into detail
+about what you have in mind for SCons.
+When in doubt, include more information rather than less.
+</p>
+</li>
+<li>
+<strong>Press the "Submit issue" to submit your request</strong>
<p>
-More information coming soon...
+You will now receive a <strong>Posting issue</strong> page
+that gives you the number of the issue you submitted.
+If you want to attach a file to your feature request,
+you can do so by clicking the
+<strong>Attach a file to this issue</strong>
+link and using that page to upload a file.

+</li>
+</ul>
