Plone development workspace

• If you have a question or need help in setting up Plone, please use one of our  support options. The Plone Setup and Plone General lists/forums are good places to ask questions, as is our  online chat room (IRC). You can also ask technical questions on the  Developers Mailing List.

• Sign up for the right mailing lists are at  http://plone.org/support/lists ( http://lists.plone.org) to find a group suited to your tastes and abilities. After joining the group, a blanket email that says "How can I help? I can do X,Y,Z" is sure to get a flurry of responses.

• Security-related bugs should be reported via email to security(at)plone.org. Both security issues in Plone or its add-on products can be reported here, and we will contact the relevant maintainer if necessary.

• Bug reports should be reported as a ticket — and make sure you have  registered for an account and are logged in before clicking that link — but please  search the issue tracker to make sure nobody else has already reported this or it hasn't been already fixed in a  new version.

• To suggest a new feature or get feedback on an idea, submit your suggestion to  our ideas page, and vote on other people's ideas.

• To sign up for implementing a new feature, please file a ticket in the PLIP category, using the PLIP template. Also see Plip Process.

• Internationalization bugs (i18n) should be filed in the Plone issue tracker under the Internationalization component

• Translation bugs (l10n) should be filed in the  dedicated translation issue tracker on plone.org.

• Core developers: Essential development information

• Plone.org website issues should be filed in the issue tracker with the component "Website".

To report a new issue you must be logged in with your plone.org username. If you have no user yet, you can  easily create one. In your new ticket please provide as much detail as possible. Especially which version of Plone you are using. You can get this information at the bottom of your Site Setup screen, listed as Version overview at the bottom of the page.
