If you have an idea for a new feature, see the [Kubernetes Features](https://github.com/kubernetes/features) repository for a list of features that are coming in new releases as well as details on how to propose one.
### Building Kubernetes for the impatient
If you want to build Kubernetes right away there are two options:
* You have a working [Go environment](https://golang.org/doc/install).
```
$ go get -d k8s.io/kubernetes
$ cd $GOPATH/src/k8s.io/kubernetes
$ make
```
* You have a working [Docker environment](https://docs.docker.com/engine/).
If you are less impatient, head over to the [developer's documentation](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/tree/master/contributors/devel).
