<p>We realise that the <a href="next/rules.html">IOCCC rules</a>, <a href="next/guidelines.html">IOCCC guidelines</a>
and the <a href="https://github.com/ioccc-src/mkiocccentry">IOCCC mkiocccentry tools</a>
can be confusing or even seem overwhelming to some people.</p>
<p>The <a href="judges.html">IOCCC judges</a> do welcome questions about the IOCCC
and will be <strong>happy to help</strong>.</p>
<p>Chances are, if you have a question, there are a number of other people who
have similar questions. So we recommend first view the
<a href="https://github.com/ioccc-src/winner/discussions">GitHub discussions for this repo</a>
so see if someone else asked already. Feel free to join in on such a discussion,
even if to just say:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I have this question too.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Feel free to provide additional feedback in the existing discussion as needed.</p>
<p><strong>BTW</strong>: If your question is just about the
<a href="https://github.com/ioccc-src/mkiocccentry">IOCCC mkiocccentry tools</a>, please
view the <a href="https://github.com/ioccc-src/mkiocccentry/discussions">mkiocccentry repo discussions</a>
instead.</p>
<p>If you do not find a suitable open discussion, please consider opening a
<a href="https://github.com/ioccc-src/winner/discussions/new/choose">new IOCCC repo discussion</a> with
your question. Doing this may be of help to others with a question similar to yours.</p>
<p><strong>BTW</strong>: If your question is just about the
<a href="https://github.com/ioccc-src/mkiocccentry/discussions">IOCCC mkiocccentry
tools</a>, and you do not
see a suitable open discussion over there, then please consider opening a
<a href="https://github.com/ioccc-src/mkiocccentry/discussions/new/choose">new mkiocccentry discussion</a>
over there.</p>
<p>If you do not feel, for some reason, comfortable asking your question in public
(although we hope you consider asking it in public for the benefit of others),
then use the <a href="contact.html">How to contact the IOCCC</a> information to ask
a private question.</p>
<p><strong>IMPORTANT</strong>: When you ask your question (in public or as a private question)
<strong>PLEASE</strong> try to <strong>NOT</strong> discuss detailed information about any pending submission.
Try to ask for question in a more generic way as this will help others
with a similar question and this will not <strong>give away</strong> what you might be doing
with your submission. If the <a href="judges.html">IOCCC judges</a> truly need more
information, they will ask (either in public or suggest a private conversation).</p>
<p>Again, <strong>please</strong> don’t hesitate to ask: Your question may be something that
others are wondering about as well!</p>
