+      <p>
+        If you think that you have found a bug or you have a suggestion for
+        improvement, then please discuss it on
+        one of the <link href="site:mail-lists">mailing lists</link>.
+        However, please check our Issue Tracker first as it may be already reported.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        The <link href="site:bugs">Apache Forrest Issue Tracker</link> collates
+        our known issues. Obviously not every issue is listed there. Some issues
+        have been discussed on the mailing list but do not yet have an issue recorded.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        The Roadmap is the best way to get an overview. The Unscheduled list also
+        needs regular review, and committers will schedule some of those for the
+        next release.
+      </p>
+      <p>
+        When creating a new issue, please provide a concise Summary Title and
+        a short Description. Add further information as Comments and include
+        links to the mail archives. The normal procedure is to discuss the
+        issue on the mailing list and then add relevant notes to the issue tracker,
+        otherwise it becomes cluttered.
