+<h1>Getting Involved with Subversion and the Community</h1>
+<p>There are many ways that you can contribute to Subversion and
+ the community. Fortunately most of these require little more than
+ an interest in Subversion and helping other members of the community.</p>
+
+<div class="h2" id="content" title="Help Others Learn">
+<h2>Help Others Learn</h2>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Participate in the mailing lists</strong>
+ <p>There are community <a href="mailing-lists.html">mailing lists</a> you
+ can join to discuss Subversion. The lists are an excellent source for
+ users and contributors interested in having technical discussions,
+ answering questions, or resolving potential issues for newcomers.</p>
+</li>
+
+<li><strong>Promote Subversion</strong>
+ <p>Help promote Subversion by using your blog, Twitter, Facebook, or
+ submitting an article to your favorite local magazine. If you are a member
+ of a different open source community, why not mention Subversion on their
+ discussion forums or at conferences? If you love Subversion, don't hold
+ back - speak up! The more developers use Subversion, the more bugs
+ will be caught, the more features will be added, the more visible the
+ project, and the more benefits the community will get!</p>
+</li>
+
+<li><strong>Link to subversion.apache.org</strong>
+ <p>The success of any open source project depends on the number of people
+ who use the product and contribute back to the project. By linking to
+ subversion.apache.org, you can increase the chances of a new user or
+ contributor finding out about the project and joining the community.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+
+<div class="h2" id="code" title="Contribute Code">
+<h2>Contribute Code</h2>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>File a bug report</strong>
+ <p>Bug reports take little time to file and are very helpful to
+ developers. This is one of the easiest contributions you can make. When
+ you discover a problem with Subversion, please report it. Our preference
+ as a community is to have you first report the bug to the <a
+ href="mailto:users@subversion.apache.org">users@subversion.apache.org</a>
+ mailing list so that other community members can provide some first-level
+ help and triage. Often times there may already be a solution or answer
+ to your problem.</p>
+</li>
+
+<li><strong>Help us triage existing bug reports</strong>
+ <p>Provide details on looking at open issues on issue tracker.
+ Describe what to do when a problem appears to no longer exist.
+ Lead into next item about creating reproduction recipes.</p>
+</li>
+
+<li><strong>Write a test or reproduction script</strong>
+ <p>Provide some reasons why writing a shell script to reproduce a problem
+ can help. Maybe link to an example?</p>
+</li>
+
+<li><strong>Submit a patch</strong>
+ <p>Link to hacking and section on contributing patches, coding
+ conventions etc.</p>
+</li>
+
+<li><strong>Become a committer and commit code directly</strong>
+ <p>Developers with a long history of submitting high-quality patches can
+ gain direct commit rights.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+
+<p>For more information about how to contribute, or to discuss your
+ contribution with us, please contact <a
