## Feedback
The best way to give feedback is to create issues in the [dotnet/core](https://github.com/dotnet/core) repo. You can also create issues in other [.NET repos](Documentation/core-repos.md) if you find that to be more appropriate for the topic you want to discuss.
2015-09-06 06:53:51 +02:00
Please give us feedback that will give us insight on the following points:
2015-09-06 06:53:51 +02:00
* Existing features that are missing some capability or otherwise don't work well enough.
* Missing features that should be added to the product.
* Design choices for a feature that is currently in-progress.

Some important caveats / notes:
2015-09-11 07:26:18 +02:00
* It is best to give design feedback quickly for improvements that are in-development. We're unlikely to hold a feature being part of a release on late feedback.
* We are most likely to include improvements that either have a positive impact on a broad scenario or have very significant positive impact on a niche scenario. This means that we are unlikely to prioritize modest improvements to niche scenarios.
* Compatibility will almost always be given a higher priority than improvements.
