+We always need more help improving Octave
+and there are many ways you can contribute.
+You can help by fixing bugs,
+developing new features,
+writing [Octave Forge packages]({{ site.sourceforge_url }}),
+answering questions in Discourse,
+helping to improve the web pages.
+If you are wondering what to work on,
+we have a standard answer:
+**What would you like to work on?**
+
+For some inspiration,
+we do maintain a [list of possible projects]({{ site.wiki_url }}/Projects)
+and a [Developer FAQ]({{ site.wiki_url }}/Developer_FAQ) on the Octave Wiki.
+
+If know what to contribute,
+discuss your ideas with us on [Discourse]({{ site.discourse_url }})
+("maintainers" category) or on our IRC
+[Freenode `{{ site.irc_channel }}` channel](https://webchat.freenode.net/#octave).
+
+
+### Using the Development Sources
+
+The latest development sources of GNU Octave are available via
+[Mercurial](https://www.mercurial-scm.org/) (hg).
+The primary repository address is
+[https://www.octave.org/hg/octave](https://www.octave.org/hg/octave),
+which currently redirects to
+[https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave](https://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave).
+You obtain the latest development version of Octave sources with the following
+command:
+
+{% highlight text %}
+hg clone https://www.octave.org/hg/octave
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+The [Developer FAQ]({{ site.wiki_url }}/Developer_FAQ) on the Octave Wiki
+contains more detailed and recent information about Octave development.
