+# Ideas for new features are welcome!
+
+Please share your feature ideas in our Discourse in order to discuss them with our community:
+
+https://discourse.gnome.org/tag/nautilus
+
+Quite some evaluation plus refinement has to happen between an idea and creating an actual and detailed plan for a potential implementation. We found that they develop into actionable issues best when they are discussed beforehand.
+
+However, if you've got this idea because of an existing problem in the application, please don't forget to report the bug or shortcoming using the respective template.
