Asking questions and reporting issues

There are three primary places where the Salt community gets together to discuss the software and help each other out: the mailing list, the IRC chat room, and the issue tracker on GitHub.

There are three types of messages that you will generally find in these places: questions about the software, bug reports, and feature requests. In general, questions about the software should be asked either on the mailing list or in IRC. Bug reports and feature requests are better suited to the issue tracker.
