+# 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 about the most important topics.
+
+### Contact
+
+We use a 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, located under git.ipfire.org. The GitHub repositories are **only** mirrors of the main repositories located under git.ipfire.org.
+
+### 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.
+
+### 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
+
+First: **we do not accept GitHub pull requests!** 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)
