## Bug Reports

Did you encounter an issue with using Slic3r? Fear not! This guide will help you to write a good bug report in just a few, simple steps.

There is a good chance that the issue, you have encountered, is already reported. Please check the [list of reported issues](https://github.com/alexrj/Slic3r/issues) before creating a new issue report. If you find an existing issue report, feel free to add further information to that report.

Simon Tatham has written an excellent on article on [How to Report Bugs Effectively](http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html) which is well worth reading, although it is not specific to Slic3r.

## Submitting a Patch

Do you want to help fix issues in or add features to Slic3r? That's also very, very welcome :)

Basically you can follow the [GitHub
flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/) for submitting
patches, but please also read below for more specific information about
contributing to the Slic3r project.

* Development
* [Low Effort tasks](https://github.com/slic3r/Slic3r/labels/Low%20Effort): pick one of them!
* [Help Wanted tasks](https://github.com/slic3r/Slic3r/labels/help%20wanted): pick one of them!
* [More available tasks](https://github.com/slic3r/Slic3r/milestone/32): let's discuss together before you start working on them
* Please comment in the related GitHub issue that you are working on it so that other people know.
* Contribute to the [Manual](http://manual.slic3r.org/)! (see its [GitHub repository](https://github.com/slic3r/Slic3r-Manual))
* You can also find us in #slic3r on [FreeNode](https://webchat.freenode.net): talk to _Sound_, _LoH_ or the other members of the Slic3r community.
* Add an [issue](https://github.com/slic3r/Slic3r/issues) to the GitHub tracker if it isn't already present.
* Update Slic3r's test suite to improve test coverage [Writing Test Cases](https://github.com/slic3r/Slic3r/wiki/Code:-Writing-Test-Cases)
* Drop Alessandro a line at [email protected].
* Drop Joseph a line at [email protected]

* A good place to start if you can is to look over the [Pull Request or Bust](https://github.com/alexrj/Slic3r/milestones/Pull%20Request%20or%20Bust) milestone. This contains all of the things (mostly new feature requests) that there isn't time or resources to address at this time.
* Things that are probably fixable via scripts (usually marked as such) have the lowest bar to getting something that works, as you don't need to recompile Slic3r to test.
* If you're starting on an issue, please say something in the related issues thread so that someone else doesn't start working on it too.
