-**Exploit: Submit a bug report or question to an open-source project.** Critical to any open-source project is the participation of the community. For those of us who are not amazing software engineers, one of the best (and most rewarding) ways of participating is through feedback. Identify which software that you use is open-source---Canvas and Hypothesis are a start---and try to find where the developers communicate with users. (It's usually in the Issues section of the project'​s GitHub page.) Write to them with a bug you've noticed or a feature you'd like to see. Keep in mind Raymond'​s essay on questions to help ensure your recommendation is usefully phrased and well researched.+**Exploit: Submit a bug report or question to an open-source project.** Critical to any open-source project is the participation of the community.
