Since the move to Github, we've started to receive lots of introductory questions to the bug tracker. I posit this is because most projects on Github don't have mailing lists, so the culture on Github is to use the Issue Tracker as a discussion forum. The Go project doesn't use the Issue Tracker as our first point of communication. This CL updates CONTRIBUTING.md (which is linked when you file a bug or send a pull request), to mention that we have a mailing list. It certainly won't stop all the errant bug reports, but it should help.

# Contributing to Go
|
|
|
|
Go is an open source project.
|
|
|
|
It is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Filing issues
|
|
|
|
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?
|
|
|
|
General questions should go to the [golang-nuts mailing list](https://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts) instead of the issue tracker.
|
|
The gophers there will answer or ask you to file an issue if you've tripped over a bug.
