| We're very happy to see the spaCy community grow and include a mix of
| people from all kinds of different backgrounds computational
| linguistics, data science, deep learning, research and more. If you'd
| like to get involved, below are some answers to the most important
| questions and resources for further reading.

p
| Bugs suck, and we're doing our best to continuously improve the tests
| and fix bugs as soon as possible. Before you submit an issue, do a
| quick search and check if the problem has already been reported. If
| you're having installation or loading problems, make sure to also check
| out the #[+a("/usage/#troubleshooting") troubleshooting guide]. Help
| with spaCy is available via the following platforms:
+aside("How do I know if something is a bug?")
| Of course, it's always hard to know for sure, so don't worry we're not
| going to be mad if a bug report turns out to be a typo in your
| code. As a simple rule, any C-level error without a Python traceback,
| like a #[strong segmentation fault] or #[strong memory error],
| is #[strong always] a spaCy bug.#[br]#[br]
| Because models are statistical, their performance will never be
| #[em perfect]. However, if you come across
| #[strong patterns that might indicate an underlying issue], please do
| file a report. Similarly, we also care about behaviours that
| #[strong contradict our docs].
+table(["Platform", "Purpose"])
+row
+cell #[+a("https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/spacy") Stack Overflow]
+cell
| #[strong Usage questions] and everything related to problems with
| your specific code. The Stack Overflow community is much larger
| than ours, so if your problem can be solved by others, you'll
| receive help much quicker.
+row
+cell #[+a("https://gitter.im/" + SOCIAL.gitter) Gitter chat]
+cell
| #[strong General discussion] about spaCy, meeting other community
| members and exchanging #[strong tips, tricks and best practices].
| If we're working on experimental models and features, we usually
| share them on Gitter first.
+row
+cell #[+a(gh("spaCy") + "/issues") GitHub issue tracker]
+cell
| #[strong Bug reports] and #[strong improvement suggestions], i.e.
| everything that's likely spaCy's fault. This also includes
| problems with the models beyond statistical imprecisions, like
| patterns that point to a bug.
+infobox
| Please understand that we won't be able to provide individual support via
| email. We also believe that help is much more valuable if it's shared
| publicly, so that #[strong more people can benefit from it]. If you come
| across an issue and you think you might be able to help, consider posting
| a quick update with your solution. No matter how simple, it can easily
| save someone a lot of time and headache and the next time you need help,
| they might repay the favour.
+h(3, "faq-contributing") How can I contribute to spaCy?
p
| You don't have to be an NLP expert or Python pro to contribute, and we're
| happy to help you get started. If you're new to spaCy, a good place to
| start is the
| #[+a(gh("spaCy") + '/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A"help+wanted+%28easy%29"') #[code help wanted (easy)] label]
| on GitHub, which we use to tag bugs and feature requests that are easy
| and self-contained. We also appreciate contributions to the docs whether
| it's fixing a typo, improving an example or adding additional explanations.
| You'll find a "Suggest edits" link at the bottom of each page that points
| you to the source.
p
| Another way of getting involved is to help us improve the
| #[+a("/usage/adding-languages#language-data") language data]
| especially if you happen to speak one of the languages currently in
| #[+a("/usage/models#languages") alpha support]. Even
| adding simple tokenizer exceptions, stop words or lemmatizer data
| can make a big difference. It will also make it easier for us to provide
| a statistical model for the language in the future. Submitting a test
| that documents a bug or performance issue, or covers functionality that's
| especially important for your application is also very helpful. This way,
| you'll also make sure we never accidentally introduce regressions to the
| parts of the library that you care about the most.

| For more details on the types of contributions we're looking for, the
| code conventions and other useful tips, make sure to check out the
| #[+a(gh("spaCy", "CONTRIBUTING.md")) contributing guidelines].
+infobox("Code of Conduct")
| spaCy adheres to the
| #[+a("http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/4/") Contributor Covenant Code of Conduct].
| By participating, you are expected to uphold this code.

| I've built something cool with spaCy how can I get the word out?
p
| First, congrats we'd love to check it out! When you share your
| project on Twitter, don't forget to tag
| #[+a("https://twitter.com/" + SOCIAL.twitter) @#{SOCIAL.twitter}] so we
| don't miss it. If you think your project would be a good fit for the
| #[+a("/universe") spaCy Universe], #[strong feel free to submit it!]
| Tutorials are also incredibly valuable to other users and a great way to
| get exposure. So we strongly encourage #[strong writing up your experiences],
| or sharing your code and some tips and tricks on your blog. Since our
| website is open-source, you can add your project or tutorial by making a
| pull request on GitHub.
p
| If you would like to use the spaCy logo on your site, please get in touch
| and ask us first. However, if you want to show support and tell others
| that your project is using spaCy, you can grab one of our
| #[strong spaCy badges] here:
