MegaMek Project Moves to GitHub Issues Templates

Hi Everyone,

We are excited to announce a change in how we handle feature requests and bug reports. To streamline our process and make it easier for everyone to contribute, we have moved to GitHub Issues Templates.

What does this mean for you?

Starting now, if you want to submit:

  • Feature Requests (RFE)
  • Bug Reports

You will use our new GitHub Issues Templates. These templates are designed to be user-friendly, guiding you through the process of providing the necessary information to help the development team address issues and new ideas faster and more efficiently.

Why the Change?

We often get partial, incomplete, or vague information in bug reports and feature requests. This makes it difficult for us to understand the issue or request and slows down the process of addressing it.

By moving to GitHub Templates it allows us to:

  • Ensure that all submissions are standardized, making them easier to review and prioritize.
  • Help contributors provide clear and structured information.
  • Speed up the development and bug-fixing process by reducing back-and-forth questions.

🔍 How to Submit a Request or Issue

  1. Head over to our GitHub tracker.
  2. Look for the Issues button (as usual).
