* [Contributing documentation and translations](#contributing-documentation-and-translations)

## Reporting general bugs

**If you are reporting a security vulnerability**, please consult the
instructions in our SECURITY.md file before proceeding. If you have discovered
an issue in AtoM that is **not** related to a security vulnerability, we
welcome your reports.

You can report general bugs in two ways:

* By creating a new post in the [AtoM user forum](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ica-atom-users)
* By [opening an issue](https://github.com/artefactual/atom/issues) in our
GitHub repository

Please be sure to include all the information we will need to reproduce the
issue locally. This includes:
## Security vulnerability

* The version of AtoM you are using
* Basic information about your installation environment, including PHP, MySQL,
Elasticsearch, and operating system versions
* Steps to reproduce the issue
* The resulting error or vulnerability and the expected outcome
* If there are any error logs related to the issue, please include the
relevant parts as well
**If you are reporting a security vulnerability**, refer yourself to the
[SECURITY.md](./SECURITY.md) document.

You can find useful tips on how to find this information in the Troubleshooting
page in our documentation:
## Reporting general bugs

* https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/latest/admin-manual/maintenance/troubleshooting/
If you have discovered an issue in AtoM, we welcome your reports.

Note as well that, as a community-driven open source project, we depend on our
community to be able to maintain and develop AtoM. We are committed to
including as many bug fixes as we can in each new release, but a confirmed
report is not enough alone to guarantee that a fix will be included in the
next release. If your institution is interested in sponsoring a fix, feel free
to contact Artefactual Systems for an estimate - all sponsored development
will be included in the next public release. For more information on how we
develop and maintain AtoM, please see:
Start by doing a search on [AtoM user forum](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ica-atom-users)
and in the [AtoM GitHub issues](https://github.com/artefactual/atom/issues)
to see if your question has been considered in the past.

* https://wiki.accesstomemory.org/Development/Philosophy
If nothing comes up, start a conversation by opening a new thread on the user
forum. When your bug will have been better understood, you may be invited to
open an issue on GitHub.

We also welcome pull requests to fix issues!
The [Troubleshooting guide](https://www.accesstomemory.org/docs/latest/admin-manual/maintenance/troubleshooting/) contains the information needed to open an issue.
