+== Using GitHub issues
+
+We use GitHub issues to track bugs and enhancements. If you have a general usage question
+please ask on http://stackoverflow.com[Stack Overflow]. The Spring Boot team and the
+broader community monitor the http://stackoverflow.com/tags/spring-boot[`spring-boot`]
+tag.
+
+If you are reporting a bug, please help to speed up problem diagnosis by providing as much
+information as possible. Ideally, that would include a small sample project that
+reproduces the problem.
