Contributing to ShareLaTeX
==========================
Thank you for reading this! If you've found a bug, or have a new feature in mind,
then here are some notes on how to best report issues or implement changes.
Thank you for reading this! If you'd like to report a bug or join in the development
of ShareLaTeX, then here are some notes on how to do that.
Reporting bugs and opening issues
---------------------------------
If you'd like a report a bug or open an issue then please:
1. **Find the correct repository.** ShareLaTeX is split across multiple different repositories, each containing a different service (you can find a list [here](https://github.com/sharelatex/sharelatex/blob/master/README.md#other-repositories)). If you know the bug only applies to one service, then please open an issue in that repository. For general bugs and issues that span more than one service, please open an issue in the [sharelatex/sharelatex](https://github.com/sharelatex/sharelatex) repository.
2. **Check if there is an existing issue.** If there is then please add
any more information that you have, or give it a "+1" in the comments.
When submitting an issue please describe the issue as clearly as possible, including how to
reproduce the bug, which situations it appears in, what you expected to happen, and what actually happens.
If you can include a screenshot for front end issues that is very helpful.
Pull Requests
-------------
We love pull requests, so be bold with them! Don't be afraid of going ahead
and changing something, or adding a new feature. We're very happy to work with you
to get your changes merged into ShareLaTeX.
If you've got an idea for a change then please discuss it in the open first,
either by opening an issue, or by joining us in our
[development chat room](http://www.hipchat.com/g1nJMcj7b).
Developer Chat Room

If you want to ask any questions in real-time, or get a feel for what's going on
then please drop into our [development chat room](http://www.hipchat.com/g1nJMcj7b).

when we return.
