15 Getting help with GLib
20 <title>Filing a bug report or feature request</title>
23 If you encounter a bug, misfeature, or missing feature in GLib, please
24 file a bug report on the issue tracker at
25 <ulink url="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/new">https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/issues/new</ulink>.
26 We'd also appreciate reports of incomplete or misleading information in
27 the GLib documentation; file those with the ‘Documentation’ label.
31 Don't hesitate to file a bug report, even if you think we may know
32 about it already, or aren't sure of the details. Just give us as much
33 information as you have, and if it's already fixed or has already been
34 discussed, we'll add a note to that effect in the report.
38 The issue tracker should definitely be used for feature requests, it's
39 not only for bugs. We track all GLib development in GitLab, so it's
40 the way to be sure the GLib developers won't forget about an issue.
46 <title>Code Contributions</title>
49 If you develop a bugfix or enhancement for GLib, please open a merge request
50 for that in GitLab as well. All branches must be offered under the terms of
51 the GNU LGPL license, so be sure you are authorized to give us the branch
56 If you want to discuss your branch before or after developing it, mail
57 <ulink url="mailto:gtk-devel-list@gnome.org">gtk-devel-list@gnome.org</ulink>.
58 But be sure to create the GitLab merge request as well; if the branch is only
59 on the list and not in GitLab, it's likely to slip through the cracks.
65 <title>Mailing lists</title>
68 There are several mailing lists dedicated to GTK+ and related
69 libraries. Discussion of GLib generally takes place on these lists.
70 You can subscribe or view the archives of these lists on
71 <ulink url="http://mail.gnome.org">http://mail.gnome.org</ulink>.
78 <term><ulink url="mailto:gtk-list@gnome.org">gtk-list@gnome.org</ulink></term>
80 gtk-list covers general GTK+ (and GLib) topics; questions about using GLib
81 in programs, GLib from a user standpoint, announcements of GLib-related projects
82 would all be on-topic. The bulk of the traffic consists of GTK+ programming
88 <term><ulink url="mailto:gtk-devel-list@gnome.org">gtk-devel-list@gnome.org</ulink></term>
90 gtk-devel-list is for discussion of work on GTK+ (and GLib) itself, it is
91 <emphasis>not</emphasis> for asking questions about how to use GTK+ (or GLib)
92 in applications. gtk-devel-list is appropriate for discussion of branches,
93 bugs, proposed features, and so on.

100 gtk-doc-list is for discussion of the <application>gtk-doc</application>
101 documentation system (used to document GTK+ and Glib), and for work on the GTK+
102 (and GLib) documentation.
