| 2 | |
| 3 | Go is an open source project. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | It is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help! |

| 8 | ## Filing issues |
| 9 | |
| 10 | When [filing an issue](https://golang.org/issue/new), make sure to answer these five questions: |
| 11 | |
| 12 | 1. What version of Go are you using (`go version`)? |
| 13 | 2. What operating system and processor architecture are you using? |
| 14 | 3. What did you do? |
| 15 | 4. What did you expect to see? |
| 16 | 5. What did you see instead? |
| 17 | |
| 18 | General questions should go to the [golang-nuts mailing list](https://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts) instead of the issue tracker. |
| 19 | The gophers there will answer or ask you to file an issue if you've tripped over a bug. |
