+# How can I help?
+
+You can help in numerous ways. This document should give you an overview of what
+is possible and how you can get involved. It will **not** give you all information
+you need to successfully contribute to avoid content duplication between this
+document and our [wiki](https://wiki.ipfire.org/). Instead, it should guide you
+to the right places to look for further information.
+
+## Development
+
+All information is available in the [development section](https://wiki.ipfire.org/devel)
+of our wiki. The following is a very short overview of the most important topics.
+
+### Contact
+
+We use the mailing list `<development@lists.ipfire.org>` for our communication. For the
+list archive and registration, see [here](http://lists.ipfire.org/mailman/listinfo/development).
+
+### Source Code
+
+We use our own infrastructure for code hosting, accessible at `git.ipfire.org`. The
+GitHub repositories are **only** mirrors of `git.ipfire.org`, available as a courtesy
+to the internet community.
+
+### How to build the distribution?
+
+In order to contribute, you certainly need to build the distribution at some point.
+See [here](https://wiki.ipfire.org/devel/ipfire-2-x/build-howto) for a long guide
+how to do that.
+
+### Reporting bugs
+
+We have a bug tracker located [here](https://wiki.ipfire.org/devel/bugzilla). Further
+information can be found in our [wiki](https://wiki.ipfire.org/devel/bugzilla). We do
+**not** use GitHub for tracking bugs.
+
+### Contribute changes to the source code
+
+Unfortunately, we do not accept GitHub pull requests. Instead, we are working with patches
+which are sent to our mailing list `<development@lists.ipfire.org>`. This process might
+be a bit tricky in the beginning. That's why you can find more information how to do
+this [here](https://wiki.ipfire.org/devel/submit-patches).
