+
+1. Reach out via our [mailing list](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/prometheus-developers) and ask us what

+   1. Run ``make format`` to ensure the correctness of the Go code's layout.
+
+   2. Run ``make advice`` to find facial errors with a static analyzer.
+
+   3. Try to capture your changes in some form of a test.  Go makes it easy to

+      make your life easier in the right circumstances.
