Encourage people towards the various help forums as a first port of call. Better sign-posting will reduce the incidence or questions being asked in the issue tracker that should otherwise be handled elsewhere, thereby keeping the issue tracker email traffic more focussed.

# Contributing to Go
|
|
|
|
Go is an open source project.
|
|
|
|
It is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!
|
|
|
|
## Before filing an issue
|
|
|
|
If you are unsure whether you have found a bug, please consider asking in the [golang-nuts mailing
|
|
list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts) or [other forums](https://golang.org/help/) first. If
|
|
the behavior you are seeing is confirmed as a bug or issue, it can easily be re-raised in the issue tracker.
|
|
|
|
## Filing issues
|
|
|
|
Sensitive security-related issues should be reported to [security@golang.org](mailto:security@golang.org).
|
|
See the [security policy](https://golang.org/security) for details.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, when filing an issue, make sure to answer these five questions:
|
|
|
|
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?
|
|
|
|
For change proposals, see [Proposing Changes To Go](https://github.com/golang/proposal/).
