General questions should go to the
|
|
|
|
[golang-nuts mailing list](https://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts) or
|
|
|
|
[other forum](https://golang.org/wiki/Questions) instead of the issue tracker.
|
|
|
|
The gophers there will answer or ask you to file an issue if you've tripped over a bug.

|
|
|
1. What version of Go are you using (`go version`)?
|
|
|
|
2. What operating system and processor architecture are you using?
|
|
|
|
3. What did you do?
|
|
|
|
4. What did you expect to see?
|
|
|
|
5. What did you see instead?
