Let's discuss features. For example, you can (1) request a new feature, (2) discuss merits and shortcomings of a feature and suggest improvements (3) share your ideas or steps to integrate a tool into Rockstor. Please be as detail oriented as possible. If it's a straight forward coding task, you can just create an issue on the issue tracker. If not, details can be flushed out by consensus.

You can discuss potential bugs and buggy behavior here. If you are certain about a bug and have reproducible steps, go to the issue tracker and search if it's a known issue. If not, create a new issue and be proud, your contribution is appreciated! If that doesn't satisfy you enough, submit a pull request and make us all proud.
