<title>Filing a bug report or feature request</title>

<para>
If you encounter a bug, misfeature, or missing feature in GLib, please
file a bug report on the issue tracker at
<ulink url="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/new">https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/new</ulink>.
We'd also appreciate reports of incomplete or misleading information in 
the GLib documentation; file those with the ‘Documentation’ label.
</para>

<para>
Don't hesitate to file a bug report, even if you think we may know
about it already, or aren't sure of the details. Just give us as much
information as you have, and if it's already fixed or has already been
discussed, we'll add a note to that effect in the report.
</para>

<para>
The issue tracker should definitely be used for feature requests, it's
not only for bugs. We track all GLib development in GitLab, so it's
the way to be sure the GLib developers won't forget about an issue.
</para>

<title>Code Contributions</title>

<para>
If you develop a bugfix or enhancement for GLib, please open a merge request
for that in GitLab as well. All branches must be offered under the terms of
the GNU LGPL license, so be sure you  are authorized to give us the branch
under those terms.
</para>

<para>
If you want to discuss your branch before or after developing it, mail
<ulink url="mailto:gtk-devel-list@gnome.org">gtk-devel-list@gnome.org</ulink>. 
But be sure to create the GitLab merge request as well; if the branch is only
on the list and not in GitLab, it's likely to slip through the cracks.

<title>Mailing lists</title>

<para>
There are several mailing lists dedicated to GTK+ and related
libraries. Discussion of GLib generally takes place on these lists.

<listitem><para>
gtk-list covers general GTK+ (and GLib) topics; questions about using GLib 
in programs, GLib from a user standpoint, announcements of GLib-related projects
would all be on-topic. The bulk of the traffic consists of GTK+ programming 
questions.
