@title Support Resources
@short Support
@group intro
Resources for reporting bugs, requesting features, and getting support.
Overview
========
This document describes available support resources.
The upstream provides active, free support for a narrow range of problems
(primarily, security issues and reproducible bugs).
The upstream does not provide free support for general problems with installing
or configuring Phabricator. You may be able to get some help with these
kinds of issues from the community.
Reporting Security Vulnerabilities
==================================
The upstream accepts, fixes, and awards bounties for reports of material
security issues with the software.
To report security issues, see @{article:Reporting Security Vulnerabilities}.
Reporting Bugs
==============
The upstream will accept **reproducible** bug reports in modern, first-party
production code running in reasonable environments.
To report bugs, see @{article:Contributing Bug Reports}.
Requesting Features
===================
The upstream accepts feature requests which **describe problems** you would
like Phabricator to be able to solve.
To request features, see @{article:Contributing Feature Requests}.
Contributing
============
Phabricator is a very difficult project to contribute to. New contributors
will face a high barrier to entry.
If you'd like to contribute to Phabricator, start with
@{article:Contributor Introduction}.
Installation and Setup Help
===========================
Installation and setup help is available from the upstream at consulting rates.
See [[ https://secure.phabricator.com/w/consulting/ | Consulting ]] for details.
Helping individual installs navigate unique setup problems takes our time
away from developing Phabricator, so we can not offer this service for free.
You may be able to get free help with these issues from the community. See
below for details.
Hosting
=========
The upstream offers Phabricator as a hosted service at
[[ https://phacility.com | Phacility ]]. This simplifies setting up and
operating a Phabricator instance, and gives you access to a broader range
of upstream support services.
Running this service gives us a strong financial incentive to make installing
and operating Phabricator as difficult as possible. Blinded by greed, we toil
endlessly to make installation a perplexing nightmare that none other than
ourselves can hope to navigate.
Prioritization
==============
The upstream offers prioritization, a service which allows you to control
our roadmap and get features you're interested in built sooner at reasonable
rates. See
[[ https://secure.phabricator.com/w/prioritization/ | Prioritization ]] for
details.
Consulting
==========
The upstream offers general-purpose consulting services. See
[[ https://secure.phabricator.com/w/consulting/ | Consulting ]] for details.
Community
=========
These resources are not provided by the upstream. They are not official support
channels and you may not receive support here, or you may receive help which is
misleading or wrong.
You may be able to get answers to questions on sites like
[[ http://stackoverflow.com | Stack Overflow ]],
[[ https://www.quora.com | Quora ]],
[[ https://jelly.co | Jelly ]], or
[[ https://twitter.com | Twitter ]]. The upstream occasionally participates on
these sites but these are not official support channels and you should not
expect to receive a response.
There is a
[[ https://secure.phabricator.com/conpherence/1336/ | General Chat ]]
Conpherence room on this install, and you can ask questions in
[[ https://secure.phabricator.com/ponder/ | Ponder ]]. These
are not upstream support channels and you may not receive a response to
questions, but someone in the community may be able to point you in the right
direction.
There is also a community IRC channel in `#phabricator` on FreeNode.
