1. If it is a major feature or a semantical change, please post it as a new submission in r/redis on Reddit at http://reddit.com/r/redis. Try to be passionate about why the feature is needed, make users upvote your proposal to gain traction and so forth. Read feedbacks about the community. But in this first step **please don't write code yet**.

1. If it is a major feature or a semantical change, please don't start coding
26+
straight away: if your feature is not a conceptual fit you'll lose a lot of
27+
time writing the code without any reason. Start by posting in the mailing list
28+
and creating an issue at Github with the description of, excatly, what you want
29+

3. Keep in mind that we are very overloaded, so issues and PRs sometimes wait
42+
for a *very* long time. However this is not lack of interest, as the project
43+
gets more and more users, we find ourselves in a constant need to prioritize
44+
certain issues/PRs over others. If you think your issue/PR is very important
45+
try to popularize it, have other users commenting and sharing their point of
46+
view and so forth. This helps.
