Feedback

The best way to give feedback is to create issues in the dotnet/core repo. You can also create issues in other .NET repos if you find that to be more appropriate for the topic you want to discuss.

Please give us feedback that will give us insight on the following points:

  • Existing features that are missing some capability or otherwise don't work well enough.
  • Missing features that should be added to the product.
  • Design choices for a feature that is currently in-progress.

Some important caveats / notes:

  • It is best to give design feedback quickly for improvements that are in-development. We're unlikely to hold a feature being part of a release on late feedback.
  • We are most likely to include improvements that either have a positive impact on a broad scenario or have very significant positive impact on a niche scenario. This means that we are unlikely to prioritize modest improvements to niche scenarios.
  • Compatibility will almost always be given a higher priority than improvements.
