Support
There's a lively community around GNOME and we're happy to help you if possible. The following list points to several options you can choose.
However, GNOME interacts with a large number of other software projects. In most cases, the Internet homepage of your distribution is thus a better place to start. So we recommend that you first check the support options of your distribution.
GNOME comes with full documentation. We provide a User Guide, a System Administrator Guide, and an Accessibility Guide. See the GNOME Documentation Library for all of the official GNOME documentation.
A list of frequently answered questions (FAQ) and other helpful resources can be found in our knowledge base. It is provided in form of a wiki – an online resource everybody is allowed to change.
To contact others users, get help, and discuss topics around GNOME, join our user forum. Note that developers rarely read its topics, so it's not a proper way to request a feature, or report a bug.
The GNOME List is a good place to ask general questions about GNOME. Often, your question has been asked before. You can find an answer by browsing or searching the list archive.
The Internet Relay Chat (IRC) network with the largest GNOME presence is GIMPnet, with the channels #gnome-help (for getting help with GNOME) and #gnome (for developer discussion) being the main resources.
Something seems to be not working as it should? You desperately miss a certain feature? Be sure to report in GNOME Bugzilla. If you're new to Bugzilla, you may find the Simple Bug Assistant easier to use.
