            |  | 3 | Like in most [http://www.opensource.org/ open source projects], "free" Trac support is available primarily through the community itself, mainly through the [trac:MailingList mailing list] and the [trac: project wiki]. | 
          
            |  | 4 |  | 
          
            |  | 5 | There is also an [trac:IrcChannel IRC channel], where people might be able to help out. Much of the 'live' development discussions also happen there. | 
          
            |  | 6 |  | 
          
            |  | 7 | Before you start a new support query, make sure you've done the appropriate searching: | 
          
            |  | 8 | * in the project's [trac:TracFaq FAQ] | 
          
            |  | 9 | * in past messages to the [http://groups.google.com/group/trac-users Trac Users Mailing List] | 
          
            |  | 10 | * in the Trac ticket system, using either a [trac:search:?q=&ticket=on&wiki=on full search] or a [trac:query: ticket query]. | 
          
            |  | 11 |  | 
          
            |  | 12 | Please '''don't''' create a ticket in trac.egdewall.org for asking a support question about Trac. Only use it when you face a ''real'' and ''new'' bug in Trac, and do so only after having read the [trac:NewTicketGuidelines NewTicketGuidelines]. The more a bug report or enhancement request complies with those guidelines, the higher the chances are that it will be fixed or implemented promptly! |
