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. + +The recommended way to file an issue is by running `go bug`. +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/). + +## Contributing code + +Please read the [Contribution Guidelines](https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html) before sending patches. + +Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under +the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file. + |
