8 We always need more help improving Octave
9 and there are many ways you can contribute.
10 You can help by fixing bugs,
11 developing new features,
12 writing [Octave Forge packages]({{ site.sourceforge_url }}),
13 answering questions in Discourse,
14 helping to improve the web pages.
15 If you are wondering what to work on,
16 we have a standard answer:
17 **What would you like to work on?**
18
19 For some inspiration,
20 we do maintain a [list of possible projects]({{ site.wiki_url }}/Projects)
21 and a [Developer FAQ]({{ site.wiki_url }}/Developer_FAQ) on the Octave Wiki.
22
23 If know what to contribute,
24 discuss your ideas with us on [Discourse]({{ site.discourse_url }})
25 ("maintainers" category) or on our IRC
26 [Freenode `{{ site.irc_channel }}` channel](https://webchat.freenode.net/#octave).
