1. If you have a question about setting up/using Sails, please check out the [Sails docs](http://sailsjs.org/#!documentation) or try searching [StackOverflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/sails.js).
2. Search for issues similar to yours in [GitHub search](https://github.com/balderdashy/sails/search?type=Issues) and [Google](https://www.google.nl/search?q=sails+js).
3. Feature requests are very welcome, but we would prefer to keep them separate from actual issues with the framework. If you want to submit a feature request, please post it on our [Trello Board](https://trello.com/b/cGzNVE0b/sails-js-feature-requests). You can do so by emailing the issue to [email protected]. You can put the name of the request in the subject line, and the description in the body. It can sometimes take a few minutes for it to appear on the board, so please be patient if you don't see it right away.

## Requesting Features
We use [Trello](https://trello.com/b/cGzNVE0b/sails-js-feature-requests) for tracking feature requests.

##### Submitting a New Feature Request

1. Check to see if a feature request already exists for what you're interested in. You can upvote and comment on existing requests.
2. [Send the board an email]([email protected]) with a short label (< 10 words or so) for the feature request as the subject line and a more detailed description in the body of the message with your github username. If you'd be able to help contribute to the development of the feature, please mention that in the description!

It can sometimes take a few minutes for a new request to appear on the board, due to latency processing our little email message hack, so please be patient if you don't see it right away.
> Note: The process for tracking feature requests has recently changed. We are still using Trello for the Sails roadmap, but are migrating feature requests back into GitHub issues in order to allow more people to participate in the discussion.
#####Submitting a new feature request
1. First, check to see if a feature request already exists for what you're interested in. If it does, you can join the discussion in that request's comment thread.
2. If it doesn't already exist, create a new issue for it. Please prefix the title with **[#feature]** so we can easily spot it and keep track of feature requests.
