+# Issue Guidelines
+
+The issues tracker should only be used for **bugs** or **feature requests**.
+
+Please post **support requests** and **general discussions** about this project to the [support forum](https://groups.google.com/d/forum/jquery-fileupload).
+
+## Bugs
+
+Please follow these guidelines before reporting a bug:
+
+1. **Update to the latest version** — Check if you can reproduce the issue with the latest version from the `master` branch.
+
+2. **Use the GitHub issue search** — check if the issue has already been reported. If it has been, please comment on the existing issue.
+
+3. **Isolate the demonstrable problem** — Try to reproduce the problem with the [Demo](http://blueimp.github.io/jQuery-File-Upload/) or with a reduced test case that includes the least amount of code necessary to reproduce the problem.
+
+4. **Provide a means to reproduce the problem** — Please provide as much details as possible, e.g. server information, browser and operating system versions, steps to reproduce the problem. If possible, provide a link to your reduced test case, e.g. via [JSFiddle](http://jsfiddle.net/). 
+
+
+## Feature requests
+
+Please follow the bug guidelines above for feature requests, i.e. update to the latest version and search for exising issues before posting a new request.
+
+Generally, feature requests might be accepted if the implementation would benefit a broader use case or the project could be considered incomplete without that feature.
+
+If you need help integrating this project into another framework, please post your request to the [support forum](https://groups.google.com/d/forum/jquery-fileupload).
+
+## Pull requests
+
+[Pull requests](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests) are welcome and the preferred way of accepting code contributions.
+
+However, if you add a server-side upload handler implementation for another framework, please continue to maintain this version in your own fork without sending a pull request. You are welcome to add a link and possibly documentation about your implementation to the [Wiki](https://github.com/blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload/wiki).
+
+Please follow these guidelines before sending a pull request:
+
+1. Update your fork to the latest upstream version.
+
+2. Follow the coding conventions of the original repository. Changes to one of the JavaScript source files are required to pass the [JSLint](http://jslint.com/) validation tool.
+
+3. Keep your commits as atomar as possible, i.e. create a new commit for every single bug fix or feature added.
+
+4. Always add meaningfull commit messages.
