+
+If you have a support question that is not answered by our
+[documentation](/documentation) you have a number of options available
+to you.
+
+If the question is specifically about the integration of QEMU with the
+rest of your distribution you may be better served by asking through
+your distribution's support channels. This includes questions about a
+specifically packaged versions of QEMU. The developers are generally
+concerned with the latest release and the current state of the [master
+branch](https://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git).
+
+Questions about complex configurations of networking and storage are
+usually met with a recommendation to use management tool like
+[virt-manager](https://virt-manager.org/) from the [libvirt
+project](https://libvirt.org/) to configure and run QEMU.
+
+* There is a
+[qemu-discuss@nongnu.org](https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-discuss)
+mailing list for user focused questions<br>
+If your question is more technical or architecture specific you may
+want to send your question to another of [QEMU's mailing
+lists](https://wiki.qemu.org/MailingLists)
+
+* A lot of developers hang around on IRC (network: irc.oftc.net,
+channel #qemu)<br> QEMU developers tend to hold normal office hours
+and are distributed around the world. Please be patient as you may
+have to wait some time for a response. If you can't leave IRC open and
+wait you may be better served by a mailing list.
+
+* If you think you have found a bug you can report it on [our bug
+ tracker](https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/)<br>
+Please see our guide on [how to report a bug](/contribute/report-a-bug/)
