This section contains information on reporting bugs in MATE, making suggestions and comments about MATE applications or documentation, and ways in which you can help MATE.

## Reporting Bugs

If you have found a bug in a MATE application, please report it! Developers do read all the bug reports and try to fix these bugs. Please try to be as specific as possible when describing the circumstances under which the bug shows (What commands did you enter? Which buttons did you click?). If there were any error messages, be sure to include them, too.

The easiest way to report bugs is by connecting to the MATE bug tracking database, where you can also browse the list of known bugs. You will need to register before you can submit any bugs this way.

Please note that some of MATE applications are developed outside of MATE, or by commercial companies (these products are still free software). For example, blueman, a bluetooth application, is developed at GitHub. Bug reports and comments about these products should be directed to the respective organization or company.

## Suggestions and Comments

If you have a suggestion or want to request a new feature for one of the applications, it can also be done using the bug tracking database. Submit your suggestion as a bug report as described in and at the appropriate step select Severity: Enhancement.

## Documentation Comments

If you found an inaccuracy or misprint in one of MATE documents, or have any comments or suggestions about documentation, please let us know! The easiest way of doing so is by submitting a bug report as explained before and selecting Component: docs at appropriate steps (or general if there is no docs component). If your comment is about general MATE documentation (such as MATE Users Guide) rather than specific application manual, select Product: mate-user-docs.

Alternatively, you can just send your comments by email to the MATE Documentation Project mailing list.

## Joining the MATE Project

We hope you enjoy using MATE and that you find working with MATE productive. However, there is always room for improvement.

MATE invites you to join our free software community if you have some spare time. There are many different fields. MATE needs programmers, but it also needs translators, documentation writers, testers, artists, writers, and more.

For more information on how you can get in touch with our community, please visit https://mate-desktop.org/community/.

You are always welcome to make pull requests at our GitHub repo.
