Support

"Support" will be provided in a "best-effort" manner. Open to fixes and updates to existing samples and affected blog posts. File a "bug" against an existing sample with details. If there is a "missing" sample you are proposing that doesn't exist (whether you write the code and submit the PR or are requesting someone do it), also file a bug and state why it would benefit the community. Currently, only (server-side) Python and JavaScript (Node.js, Apps Script) samples are being considered.
