    +FAQ
    
    4
    +===
    
    5
    +
    
    6
    +Q. Which clients are currently supported?
    
    7
    +R. Currently we support `BuildStream`_, `Bazel`_ and `RECC`_. Though any client which implements v2 of the Remote Execution API should be supported.
    
    8
    +
    
    9
    +Q. Where can I get the most up to date information?
    
    10
    +R. We have a `mailing list`_ you can sign up to and a `slack channel`_ you can join.
    
    11
    +
    
    12
    +Q. Can I have feature XYZ?
    
    13
    +R. Perhaps, let's have a chat first. Check that a similar issue hasn't been raised already and then `raise`_ one yourself if it hasn't. From there we can discuss the feature.
    
    14
    +
    
    15
    +Q. I've made a cool thing, can I have it in BuildGrid?
    
    16
    +R. Again, perhaps. We would encourage you to raise an issue or contact the mailing list first to make everyone aware of your idea. Then, create a `merge request`_. The worst we can do is politely decline your work, otherwise you're now officially a contributor! Have a quick read of the `contributing`_ guidelines before making your patch submission.
    
    17
    +
    
    18
    +Q. Help! This thing isn't working!?!
    
    19
    +R. Please `raise`_ an issue or ask us on the `slack channel`_ for some help.
    
    20
    +
    
    21
    +Q. How do I install BuildGrid?
    
    22
    +R. Check out this `installation page`_.
    
    23
    +
    
    24
    +Q. How do I check on the status of a job?
    
    25
    +R. Using the command line tool you can simply list all the current jobs and select one for the status
    
    26
    +
    
    27
    +    .. code-block:: sh

    30
    +       bgd operatation status <insert-operation-id>
    
    31
    +
    
    32
    +Q. How does CAS expiry work?
    
    33
    +R. We are working hard on automatic CAS expiry but until we have that, we recommend you regularly clean the CAS folder yourself.
