+## Issues
+
+### Before creating an issue
+
+Please try to determine if the issue is caused by an underlying library, and if
+so, create the issue there. Sometimes this is difficult to know. We only ask
+that you attempt to give a reasonable attempt to find out. Oftentimes the readme
+will have advice about where to go to create issues.
+
+Try to follow these guidelines
+
+- **Avoid creating issues for implementation help**. It's much better for discoverability, SEO, and semantics - to keep the issue tracker focused on bugs and feature requests - to ask implementation-related questions on [stackoverflow.com][so]
+- **Investigate the issue**:
+- **Check the readme** - oftentimes you will find notes about creating issues, and where to go depending on the type of issue.
+- Create the issue in the appropriate repository.
+
+### Creating an issue
+
+Please be as descriptive as possible when creating an issue. Give us the information we need to successfully answer your question or address your issue by answering the following in your issue:
+
+- **version**: please note the version of slashquery are you using
+- **extensions, plugins, helpers, etc** (if applicable): please list any extensions you're using
+- **error messages**: please paste any error messages into the issue, or a [gist](https://gist.github.com/)
+
+### Closing issues
+
+The original poster or the maintainer's of slashquery may close an issue at any time. Typically, but not exclusively, issues are closed when:
+
+- The issue is resolved
+- The project's maintainers have determined the issue is out of scope
+- An issue is clearly a duplicate of another issue, in which case the duplicate issue will be linked.
+- A discussion has clearly run its course
+
+
+## Pull Request Process
+
+- Make sure the destination branch is **develop**, We are using git-flow.
