Choosing a place
| You want to | Go to |
|---|---|
| Ask "how do I ...?" | The help first, then the forums; Telegram, Discord or Slack for something quick |
| Report a bug | The Report an error page of the help (exphelp/report), which opens an issue on the right tracker |
| Suggest an idea for the project or its websites | The community issue tracker |
| Propose a change to the code | A pull request on GitHub (Contributing code) |
| Share an extension | Projects, and its own GitHub repository (Sharing extensions and themes) |
| Write a tutorial | Share, or eZpedia for a short trick (Writing tutorials and posts) |
| Fix the documentation | "Edit on GitHub" on the page (Contributing documentation and help pages) |
A forum answer stays findable for years; a chat answer scrolls away. When you get a good answer in a chat, consider writing it up in the forums or on eZpedia so the next person finds it.
Private matters
| Matter | Where |
|---|---|
| A security vulnerability | [email protected], or GitHub's private vulnerability reporting (SECURITY.md) |
| A conduct problem | [email protected]; the Exponential Foundation decides (CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md) |
| The Foundation | foundation.exponential.earth |
| Paid services from 7x | se7enx.com |
