A good first step is always to check out
the FAQ
and documentation. Otherwise, many
members of the community hang out
on irc
and are happy to answer questions. We are spread out over
many timezones though (and have day jobs), so you may need
to be patient when waiting for a reply.
Extended or complex issues might be better sent to the
relevant mailing list
(you'll need to subscribe in order to send messages).
People new to the project, or Open Source generally, are
encouraged to
read Getting
Answers by Mike Ash from Rogue Amoeba. It provides
some very good tips on effective communication with groups
such as this one. Following the advice it contains will
greatly increase the chance of a quick and helpful reply.
Bugs and other problems can also be reported
via Bugzilla.
Or if you already know the
solution, submit
a patch against
our GitHub
repository.
The development of most of the ClusterLabs-related projects take place as part of
the ClusterLabs organization at Github,
and the source code and issue trackers for these projects can be found there.
