+# 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.
+
+## Contributing code
+
+Please read the [Contribution Guidelines](https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html)
+before sending patches.
+
+**We do not accept GitHub pull requests**
+(we use [Gerrit](https://code.google.com/p/gerrit/) instead for code review).
+
+Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under
+the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.
