In the spirit of free software, _everyone_ is encouraged to help improve this project.
And we want you to help.
Yes, _you!_
== We Welcome Your Participation
Keep in mind, *anyone* can contribute to an Asciidoctor project.
If you have a specialty, or just some creativity to share, we welcome your participation.
Contributing is _not_ just for developers.
Of course, we'll always need help with the code as it's the basis of the project.
But code isn't going to make the project successful alone.
We also need documentation, automation, design, marketing, communication, advocacy and more for it to make an impact.
== Ideas for Getting Involved
Here are just a few of the ways you can contribute to the project:
* Reporting bugs (_The easiest way to get started!_)
* Sharing ideas in the *#users/asciidoctor-pdf* stream of the {url-project-chat}[project chat]
* Suggesting new feature or improvements in the issue tracker
* Speaking about the technology
* Advocating for the technology
* Assisting with design and/or UX (stylesheets, themes, logos, etc)
* Conducting user studies and collecting feedback
* Automating system administration tasks (releases, changelog, announcements, hosting, etc)
* Writing, editing or maintaining the documentation
* Organizing the content (information architecture & content strategy)
* Using or extending the software in a creative way
* Testing a prerelease, a pull request, or the development branch
* Reviewing or providing feedback on pull requests
* Writing code (_No patch is too small!_)
** Fixing typos
** Adding or revising comments or API docs
** Fixing {url-project-issues}[issues]
** Writing tests
** Refactoring the code
* Something we haven't suggested...seriously!
The best way to get involved is just to show up and express your interest.
We have a very friendly and encouraging culture.
Harassment or offensive behavior is simply not tolerated.
We are positive, even when being critical.
We also strive to lift others up and help them be successful.
We want your choice to participate in an Asciidoctor project be the start of an exciting and rewarding journey.
So thanks for showing up!
