+## Asking a question
+
+Questions about how to use GLFW should be asked either in the [support
+section](https://discourse.glfw.org/c/support) of the forum, under the [Stack
+Overflow tag](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/glfw) or [Game
+Development tag](https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/tagged/glfw) on
+Stack Exchange or in the IRC channel `#glfw` on
+[Libera.Chat](https://libera.chat/).
+
+Questions about the design or implementation of GLFW or about future plans
+should be asked in the [dev section](https://discourse.glfw.org/c/dev) of the
+forum or in the IRC channel. Please don't open a GitHub issue to discuss design
+questions without first checking with a maintainer.
+
+
+## Reporting a bug
+
+If GLFW is behaving unexpectedly at run-time, start by setting an [error
+callback](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/intro_guide.html#error_handling).
+GLFW will often tell you the cause of an error via this callback. If it
+doesn't, that might be a separate bug.
+
+If GLFW is crashing or triggering asserts, make sure that all your object
+handles and other pointers are valid.
+
+For bugs where it makes sense, a short, self contained example is absolutely
+invaluable. Just put it inline in the body text. Note that if the bug is
+reproducible with one of the test programs that come with GLFW, just mention
+that instead.
+
+__Don't worry about adding too much information__. Unimportant information can
+be abbreviated or removed later, but missing information can stall bug fixing,
+especially when your schedule doesn't align with that of the maintainer.
+
+__Please provide text as text, not as images__. This includes code, error
+messages and any other text. Text in images cannot be found by other users
+searching for the same problem and may have to be re-typed by maintainers when
+debugging.
+
+You don't need to manually indent your code or other text to quote it with
+GitHub Markdown; just surround it with triple backticks:
+
+ ```
+ Some quoted text.
+ ```
+
+You can also add syntax highlighting by appending the common file extension:
+
+ ```c
+ int five(void)
+ {
+ return 5;
+ }
+ ```
+
+There are issue labels for both platforms and GPU manufacturers, so there is no
+need to mention these in the subject line. If you do, it will be removed when
+the issue is labeled.
+
+If your bug is already reported, please add any new information you have, or if
+it already has everything, give it a :+1:.
+
+
+### Reporting a compile or link bug
+
+__Note:__ GLFW needs many system APIs to do its job, which on some platforms
+means linking to many system libraries. If you are using GLFW as a static
+library, that means your application needs to link to these in addition to GLFW.
+
+__Note:__ Check the [Compiling
+GLFW](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/compile.html) guide and or [Building
+applications](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/build.html) guide for before
+opening an issue of this kind. Most issues are caused by a missing package or
+linker flag.
+
+Always include the __operating system name and version__ (e.g. `Windows
+7 64-bit` or `Ubuntu 15.10`) and the __compiler name and version__ (e.g. `Visual
+C++ 2015 Update 2`). If you are using an official release of GLFW,
+include the __GLFW release version__ (e.g. `3.1.2`), otherwise include the
+__GLFW commit ID__ (e.g. `3795d78b14ef06008889cc422a1fb8d642597751`) from Git.
+
+Please also include the __complete build log__ from your compiler and linker,
+even if it's long. It can always be shortened later, if necessary.
+
+
+#### Quick template
+
+```
+OS and version:
+Compiler version:
+Release or commit:
+Build log:

+
+
+### Reporting a segfault or other crash bug
+
+Always include the __operating system name and version__ (e.g. `Windows
+7 64-bit` or `Ubuntu 15.10`). If you are using an official release of GLFW,
+include the __GLFW release version__ (e.g. `3.1.2`), otherwise include the
+__GLFW commit ID__ (e.g. `3795d78b14ef06008889cc422a1fb8d642597751`) from Git.
+
+Please also include any __error messages__ provided to your application via the
+[error
+callback](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/intro_guide.html#error_handling) and
+the __full call stack__ of the crash, or if the crash does not occur in debug
+mode, mention that instead.
+
+
+#### Quick template

+
+
+### Reporting a context creation bug
+
+__Note:__ Windows ships with graphics drivers that do not support OpenGL. If
+GLFW says that your machine lacks support for OpenGL, it very likely does.
+Install drivers from the computer manufacturer or graphics card manufacturer
+([Nvidia](https://www.geforce.com/drivers),
+[AMD](https://www.amd.com/en/support),
+[Intel](https://www-ssl.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/detect.html)) to
+fix this.
+
+__Note:__ AMD only supports OpenGL ES on Windows via EGL. See the
+[GLFW\_CONTEXT\_CREATION\_API](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/window_guide.html#window_hints_ctx)
+hint for how to select EGL.
+
+Please verify that context creation also fails with the `glfwinfo` tool before
+reporting it as a bug. This tool is included in the GLFW source tree as
+`tests/glfwinfo.c` and is built along with the library. It has switches for all
+GLFW context and framebuffer hints. Run `glfwinfo -h` for a complete list.
+
+Always include the __operating system name and version__ (e.g. `Windows
+7 64-bit` or `Ubuntu 15.10`). If you are using an official release of GLFW,
+include the __GLFW release version__ (e.g. `3.1.2`), otherwise include the
+__GLFW commit ID__ (e.g. `3795d78b14ef06008889cc422a1fb8d642597751`) from Git.
+
+If you are running your program in a virtual machine, please mention this and
+include the __VM name and version__ (e.g. `VirtualBox 5.1`).
+
+Please also include the __GLFW version string__ (`3.2.0 X11 EGL clock_gettime
+/dev/js`), as described
+[here](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/intro.html#intro_version_string), the
+__GPU model and driver version__ (e.g. `GeForce GTX660 with 352.79`), and the
+__output of `glfwinfo`__ (with switches matching any hints you set in your
+code) when reporting this kind of bug. If this tool doesn't run on the machine,
+mention that instead.
+
+
+#### Quick template
+
+```
+OS and version:
+GPU and driver:
+Release or commit:
+Version string:

+```
+
+
+### Reporting a monitor or video mode bug
+
+__Note:__ On headless systems on some platforms, no monitors are reported. This
+causes glfwGetPrimaryMonitor to return `NULL`, which not all applications are
+prepared for.
+
+__Note:__ Some third-party tools report more video modes than are approved of
+by the OS. For safety and compatibility, GLFW only reports video modes the OS
+wants programs to use. This is not a bug.
+
+The `monitors` tool is included in the GLFW source tree as `tests/monitors.c`
+and is built along with the library. It lists all information GLFW provides
+about monitors it detects.
+
+Always include the __operating system name and version__ (e.g. `Windows
+7 64-bit` or `Ubuntu 15.10`). If you are using an official release of GLFW,
+include the __GLFW release version__ (e.g. `3.1.2`), otherwise include the
+__GLFW commit ID__ (e.g. `3795d78b14ef06008889cc422a1fb8d642597751`) from Git.
+
+If you are running your program in a virtual machine, please mention this and
+include the __VM name and version__ (e.g. `VirtualBox 5.1`).
+
+Please also include any __error messages__ provided to your application via the
+[error
+callback](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/intro_guide.html#error_handling) and
+the __output of `monitors`__ when reporting this kind of bug. If this tool
+doesn't run on the machine, mention this instead.
+
+
+#### Quick template
+
+```
+OS and version:
+Release or commit:
+Error messages:
+monitors output:
+```
+
+
+### Reporting a window, input or event bug
+
+__Note:__ The exact ordering of related window events will sometimes differ.
+
+__Note:__ Window moving and resizing (by the user) will block the main thread on
+some platforms. This is not a bug. Set a [refresh
+callback](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/window.html#window_refresh) if you
+want to keep the window contents updated during a move or size operation.
+
+The `events` tool is included in the GLFW source tree as `tests/events.c` and is
+built along with the library. It prints all information provided to every
+callback supported by GLFW as events occur. Each event is listed with the time
+and a unique number to make discussions about event logs easier. The tool has
+command-line options for creating multiple windows and full screen windows.
+
+Always include the __operating system name and version__ (e.g. `Windows
+7 64-bit` or `Ubuntu 15.10`). If you are using an official release of GLFW,
+include the __GLFW release version__ (e.g. `3.1.2`), otherwise include the
+__GLFW commit ID__ (e.g. `3795d78b14ef06008889cc422a1fb8d642597751`) from Git.
+
+If you are running your program in a virtual machine, please mention this and
+include the __VM name and version__ (e.g. `VirtualBox 5.1`).
+
+Please also include any __error messages__ provided to your application via the
+[error
+callback](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/intro_guide.html#error_handling) and
+if relevant, the __output of `events`__ when reporting this kind of bug. If
+this tool doesn't run on the machine, mention this instead.
+
+__X11:__ If possible, please include what desktop environment (e.g. GNOME,
+Unity, KDE) and/or window manager (e.g. Openbox, dwm, Window Maker) you are
+running. If the bug is related to keyboard input, please include any input
+method (e.g. ibus, SCIM) you are using.
+

+### Reporting some other library bug
+
+Always include the __operating system name and version__ (e.g. `Windows
+7 64-bit` or `Ubuntu 15.10`). If you are using an official release of GLFW,
+include the __GLFW release version__ (e.g. `3.1.2`), otherwise include the
+__GLFW commit ID__ (e.g. `3795d78b14ef06008889cc422a1fb8d642597751`) from Git.
+
+Please also include any __error messages__ provided to your application via the
+[error
+callback](https://www.glfw.org/docs/latest/intro_guide.html#error_handling), if
+relevant.

+
+### Reporting a documentation bug
+
+If you found a bug in the documentation, including this file, then it's fine to
+just link to that web page or mention that source file. You don't need to match
+the source to the output or vice versa.
+
+
+### Reporting a website bug
+
+If the bug is in the documentation (anything under `/docs/`) then please see the
+section above. Bugs in the rest of the site are reported to the [website
+source repository](https://github.com/glfw/website/issues).
+
+
+## Requesting a feature
+
+Please explain why you need the feature and how you intend to use it. If you
+have a specific API design in mind, please add that as well. If you have or are
+planning to write code for the feature, see the section below.
+
+If there already is a request for the feature you need, add your specific use
+case unless it is already mentioned. If it is, give it a :+1:.
+
+
+## Contributing a bug fix
+
+__Note:__ You must have all necessary [intellectual
+property rights](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property) to any
+code you contribute. If you did not write the code yourself, you must explain
+where it came from and under what license you received it. Even code using the
+same license as GLFW may not be copied without attribution.
+
+__There is no preferred patch size__. A one character fix is just as welcome as
+a thousand line one, if that is the appropriate size for the fix.
+
+In addition to the code, a complete bug fix includes:
+
+- Change log entry in `README.md`, describing the incorrect behavior
+- Credits entries for all authors of the bug fix
+
+Bug fixes will not be rejected because they don't include all the above parts,
+but please keep in mind that maintainer time is finite and that there are many
+other bugs and features to work on.
+
+If the patch fixes a bug introduced after the last release, it should not get
+a change log entry.
+
+If you haven't already, read the excellent article [How to Write a Git Commit
+Message](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/).

+## Contributing a feature
+
+__Note:__ You must have all necessary rights to any code you contribute. If you
+did not write the code yourself, you must explain where it came from and under
+what license. Even code using the same license as GLFW may not be copied
+without attribution.
+
+__Note:__ If you haven't already implemented the feature, check first if there
+already is an open issue for it and if it's already being developed in an
+[experimental branch](https://github.com/glfw/glfw/branches/all).
+
+__There is no preferred patch size__. A one-character change is just as welcome
+as one adding a thousand lines, if that is the appropriate size for the
+feature.
+
+In addition to the code, a complete feature includes:
+
+- Change log entry in `README.md`, listing all new symbols
+- News page entry, briefly describing the feature
+- Guide documentation, with minimal examples, in the relevant guide
+- Reference documentation, with all applicable tags
+- Cross-references and mentions in appropriate places
+- Credits entries for all authors of the feature
+
+If the feature requires platform-specific code, at minimum stubs must be added
+for the new platform function to all supported and experimental platforms.
+
+If it adds a new callback, support for it must be added to `tests/event.c`.
+
+If it adds a new monitor property, support for it must be added to
+`tests/monitor.c`.
+
+If it adds a new OpenGL, OpenGL ES or Vulkan option or extension, support
+for it must be added to `tests/glfwinfo.c` and the behavior of the library when
+the extension is missing documented in `docs/compat.dox`.
+
+If you haven't already, read the excellent article [How to Write a Git Commit
+Message](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/).
+
+Features will not be rejected because they don't include all the above parts,
+but please keep in mind that maintainer time is finite and that there are many
+other features and bugs to work on.
+
+Please also keep in mind that any part of the public API that has been included
+in a release cannot be changed until the next _major_ version. Features can be
+added and existing parts can sometimes be overloaded (in the general sense of
+doing more things, not in the C++ sense), but code written to the API of one
+minor release should both compile and run on subsequent minor releases.
