| ## Contributing |
| |
| ### How can I contribute? |
| |
| The [How To Contribute](https://gerrit-documentation.storage.googleapis.com/Documentation/3.9.2/dev-community.html#how-to-contribute) |
| section of the Gerrit documentation tells you all you need to know about |
| developer setup, CLAs, how to propose new features to the community etc. |
| |
| ### Where do I start? |
| |
| If you want to contribute to the Gerrit community, but don't know were to start, |
| there is a set of well defined Bugs and Feature Requests of various sizes |
| in the [Help Wanted hotlist](https://issues.gerritcodereview.com/hotlists/5395287) |
| in the issue-tracker. |
| Just pick any of these issues that seem interesting, assign it to yourself and |
| start. |
| |
| If you want you can present yourself to the community and announce that you |
| have started working on the issue in any of the [community forums](contact.html). |
| This will provide some context for the community if (when) you have additional |
| questions or issues. |
