When you have a problem that you cannot solve yourself using the documentation, your next stop should be the [ROS Answers website](https://answers.ros.org/).
|
|
|
This is an Question and Answer site for ROS and software using it, such as Autoware.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When using ROS Answers, it is important to act as a responsible member of the ROS community.
|
|
|
Follow the [ROS guidelines about support](http://wiki.ros.org/Support), especially the [section on etiquette](http://wiki.ros.org/Support#Etiquette).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Most importantly, before asking your question **conduct a search for another question with the same problem**.
|
|
|
It is possible that someone else has already found the answer, so conducting a search may get you a solution to your problem much faster than asking a question and waiting for someone to respond.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The [Autoware category](https://discourse.ros.org/c/autoware) on the ROS Discourse discussion board is available as a forum for general discussion of Autoware as well as for asking for help.
|
|
|
It is quite likely that someone has had the same problem as you, so consider searching the category for similar questions before making a new post.
|
|
|
If you don't find an answer to your problem, then make a post explaining what is wrong in as much detail as you can.
|
|
|
If you don't find an answer to your problem by searching, then [ask a new question](https://answers.ros.org/questions/ask/?tags=autoware) explaining what is wrong in as much detail as you can.
|
|
|
Please provide **as much as possible** of the following information.
|
|
|
The more information you provide, the sooner you will get a useful response.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Post the complete output for error messages, starting from the command that you ran.
|
|
|
If the output is long, use a service such as [GitHubGists](https://gist.github.com/) and link that from your post.

# Discourse discussion board
|
|
|
|
|
|
The [Autoware category](https://discourse.ros.org/c/autoware) on the ROS Discourse discussion board is available as a forum for general discussion of Autoware, such as discussing architecture choices, discussing how to implement a new feature, or announcing a new algorithm you have added.
|
|
|
However, **Discourse is not an appropriate place to ask for help.**
|
|
|
If you are trying to solve a problem, please use the [ROS Answers](#ROS_Answers) website.

Do not contact the developers directly.
|
|
|
Using the correct channels means everyone can see your question, and you are more likely to get a response.
|
|
|
If you contact a few developers directly, that is a lot less eyes on your problem (and a lot more annoyed busy developers.), and it also means that others cannot see the solution to your problem.

Do not post a request for help that just says "It doesn't work."

No one will know how to help you. |
