The following is a set of guidelines for contributing to Ant Design. Please spend several minutes in reading these guidelines before you create an issue or pull request.
Anyway, these are just guidelines, not rules, use your best judgment and feel free to propose changes to this document in a pull request.
## Do your homework before asking a question
It's a great idea to read Eric Steven Raymond's [How To Ask Questions The Smart Way](http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html) twice before asking a question. But if you are busy now, I recommend to read [Don't post homework questions](http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#homework) first.
The following guidelines are about *How to avoid Homework Questions*.
It sad but true that someone just glance(not read) [Ant Design's documentation](http://ant.design/). Please read the documentation closely. What's more, you can modify and run our demo with [CodePen](http://codepen.io/benjycui/pen/KgPZrE?editors=001). It's helpful to understand our documentation.
Someone may think all of the questions that he/she meets in developing are about Ant Design, but it's not true. So, please read [React's documentation](http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/getting-started.html) or just Google (not Baidu, seriously) your questions with keyword *React* first. If you are sure that your question is about Ant Design, go ahead.
### 3. Read the FAQ and search the issues list of Ant Design
Your questions may be asked and solved by others. So please spend several minutes on searching. Remember [DRY](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_repeat_yourself), both code and questions.
It would be helpful to provide a demo which can re-produce the bug 100%. Please fork this [CodePen](http://codepen.io/benjycui/pen/KgPZrE?editors=001) and re-produce the bug you met. Then, create an issue. The most important thing is: double check before claiming that you have found a bug.
If you believe that Ant Design should provide some features, but it does not. You could create an issue to discuss. However, Ant Design is not Swiss Army Knife, there are some features which Ant Design will not support:
**Working on your first Pull Request?** You can learn how from this *free* series [How to Contribute to an Open Source Project on GitHub](https://egghead.io/series/how-to-contribute-to-an-open-source-project-on-github)
1. It is a good habit to create a feature request issue to discuss whether the feature is necessary before you implement it. However, it's unnecessary to create an issue to claim that you found a typo or improved the readability of documentation, just create a pull request.
