## Filing issues
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When [filing an issue](https://golang.org/issue/new), make sure to answer these five questions:
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
3. What did you do?

|
|
General questions should go to the [golang-nuts mailing list](https://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts) instead of the issue tracker.
|
|
|
|
|
The gophers there will answer or ask you to file an issue if you've tripped over a bug.
