Github Issues
Apache MXNet uses Github issues to track feature requests and bug reports. Open a Github issue .
We also use Github projects for tracking larger projects, and Github milestones for tracking releases.
The process for setting up MXNet for development depends on several factors, and is constantly being improved and expanded for more development languages. Setup information is on the MXNet Confluence Wiki.
