Side note - the filler tests seem to randomly fail. I swear this PR doesn't touch them ;)
Maybe the tolerance should be upped a notch or two. Restarting it in the meantime. |

I've added some additional guidelines for user list posts and attempted to consolidate links to places where users can look for solutions to their problems. Hopefully this will make it easier for users to make use of the existing knowledge, and increase the quality of questions on the users list as well. Let me know your opinions, or approval if this is good to merge as is. For easy preview of the changes, shortcuts to my branch: CONTRIBUTING.md, ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md. |
This is worth including since it is sometimes overlooked even though it is usually obvious to diagnose as the poster will reference a layer/solver/etc. that does not exist in BVLC/caffe:master. Thanks for adding a note about this in the guidelines. |

Inspired by @williford's idea for a submission checklist, I propose the following changes to ISSUE_TEMPLATE and CONTRIBUTING:
I intended the checklist to be intuitive more than specific, so that we don't have to start with a strict enforcement (something like "make sure to go through the following list as issues without all the ticks will be dismissed"), so any suggestions about wording are welcome.
Another thing I consider in addition to the above is a new header in the template: "Tried solutions". Some issues are similar to others, and this would at least (attempt to) prompt users to do some research, hopefully making the work easier for us.
Note to self: add the requirement to include which fork and version of Caffe is being used.
