148
* [Mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/gitlabhq) and [Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/gitlab) are the best places to ask questions. For example you can use it if you have questions about: permission denied errors, invisible repos, can't clone/pull/push or with web hooks that don't fire. Please search for similar issues before posting your own, there's a good chance somebody else had the same issue you have now and has resolved it. There are a lot of helpful GitLab users there who may be able to help you quickly. If your particular issue turns out to be a bug, it will find its way from there to a fix.
149

150 151
* [Unofficial #gitlab IRC on Freenode](http://www.freenode.net/) is another way to get in touch with other GitLab users who may be able to help you.

* [Feedback and suggestions forum](http://feedback.gitlab.com) is the place to propose and discuss new features for GitLab.

* [Contributing guide](https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) describes how to submit pull requests and issues. Pull requests and issues not in line with the guidelines in this document will be closed.
