| # 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](https://golang.org/issue/new), 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. |
| |
