If you're not sure if it's a bug or not, start by asking in the [discussion forum](https://discourse.gohugo.io).
When reporting the issue, please provide the version of Hugo in use (`hugo version`) and your operating system.
## Code Contribution
Hugo has become a fully featured static site generator, so any new functionality must meet these criterias:
* It must be useful to many.
* It must fit natural into _what Hugo does best._
* It must strive not to break existing sites.
* It must close ur update an open [Hugo issue](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues)
* If it is of some complexity, the contributor is expected to maintain and support the new future (answer questions on the forum, fix any bugs etc.).
So, to avoid doing unneeded work, it is recommended to open up a discussion on the [Hugo Forum](https://discourse.gohugo.io/) to get some acceptance that this is a good idea. Also, if this is a complex feature, create a small design proposal on the [Hugo issue tracker](https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues) before you start coding.
**Bug fixes are, of course, always welcome.**
## Submitting Patches
The Hugo project welcomes all contributors and contributions regardless of skill or experience level.
