+name: Feature Request
+about: Solidity language or infrastructure feature requests.
+---
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- First, many thanks for taking part in the community. We really appreciate that.
+- We realize there is a lot of data requested here. We ask only that you do your best to provide as much information as possible so we can better help you.
+- Support questions are better asked in one of the following locations:
+ - [Solidity chat](https://gitter.im/ethereum/solidity)
+ - [Stack Overflow](https://ethereum.stackexchange.com/)
+- Ensure the issue isn't already reported (check `feature` and `language design` labels).
+
+*Delete the above section and the instructions in the sections below before submitting*
+
+## Abstract
+
+Please describe by example what problem you see in the current Solidity language
+and reason about it.
+
+## Motivation
+
+In this section you describe how you propose to address the problem you described earlier,
+including by giving one or more exemplary source code snippets for demonstration.
+
+## Specification
+
+The technical specification should describe the syntax and semantics of any new feature. The
+specification should be detailed enough to allow any developer to implement the functionality.
+
+## Backwards Compatibility
+
+All language changes that introduce backwards incompatibilities must include a section describing
+these incompatibilities and their severity.
+
+Please describe how you propose to deal with these incompatibilities.
