# Troubleshooting

If you're having a problem, please see [ISSUES](https://github.com/bundler/bundler/blob/master/ISSUES.md) for troubleshooting steps and a guide for how to submit a ticket that will help us solve the problem you are having as quickly as possible.

# Requesting Features

Head on over to the [Bundler features](https://github.com/bundler/bundler-features) project, or any of the lists or channels listed below. Feature-wise we consider Bundler stable, so the core team does not tend to work on feature suggestions. Pull requests welcome though!

# Discussing Bundler

If you'd like to discuss features, ask questions, or just engage in general Bundler-focused discussion, please see the [#bundler](irc://irc.freenode.net/#bundler) IRC channel on Freenode, and the [Bundler mailing list](http://groups.google.com/group/ruby-bundler) on Google Groups.
