+name: Feature request
+about: Suggest an idea for this project
+
+---
+
+**Some initial questions**
+- Are you sure your feature is not already implemented in the latest ISC DHCP version?
+- Are you sure your feature is not already implemented in the latest Kea version? Perhaps it's a
+ good time to consider migration?
+- Are you sure what you would like to do is not possible using some other mechanisms?
+- Have you discussed your idea on dhcp-users or dhcp-workers mailing lists?
+
+**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
+A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
+It is very important to describe what you would like to do and why?
+
+**Describe the solution you'd like**
+A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
+
+**Describe alternatives you've considered**
+A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
+
+**Additional context**
+Add any other context about the feature request here.
+
+**Funding its development**
+ISC DHCP is run by ISC, which is a small non-profit organization without any government funding or
+any permanent sponsorship organizations. Are you able and willing to participate financially in the
+development costs?
+
+**Participating in development**
+Are you willing to participate in the feature development? ISC team always tries to make a feature
+as generic as possible, so it can be used in wide variety of situations. That means the proposed
+solution may be a bit different that you initially thought. Are you willing to take part in the
+design discussions? Are you willing to test an unreleased engineering code?
+
+**Contacting you**
+How can ISC reach you to discuss this matter further? If you do not specify any means such as
+e-mail, jabber id or a telephone, we may send you a message on github with questions when we have
+them.
