 Getting Involved in the Archiva Project
 
-* Getting Support
+  Archiva is an open source project and relies heavily on an active community.
+  If you need help, you should look to the community. Equally, please look
+  for ways that you may contribute back.
+  
+  This page provides some pointers for receiving help and contributing to the
+  Archiva community.
+
+
+* Getting Help
+
+  There are a number of ways to find help if you have an issue. 
+
+  * <<Read the documentation>>\
+  Read the {{{/docs/1.0/userguide}user}} and {{{/docs/1.0/adminguide}administration}}
+  documentation. 
+
+  * <<Search the Wiki>>\
+  Search the
+  {{{http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Archiva}Archiva Wiki}}.
+  Lots of useful information has been contributed by users here.
+
+  * <<Submit an issue>>\
+  Search the {{{issue-tracking.html}Jira}} issue tracking system. The problem
+  you are experiencing may be a known issue and others may have suggested
+  work-arounds.  If the issue is new, you should consider submitting a report.
+  
+  * <<Search the mailing lists>>\
+  Search the mailing lists. Look {{{mail-lists.html}here}} for a list of
+  Archiva mailing lists.  If you cannot find everything you need, ask a
+  question on the appropriate list.
+
+** More Information
+
+  If you are new to Archiva (or Maven), there are a number of helpful resources
+  on the Maven website which provide step-by-step guides to getting help,
+  useful information regarding etiquette, and lots of other resources.
+
+  Check out:
+
+  * {{{http://maven.apache.org/community.html}The Maven Community}}
+
+  * {{{http://maven.apache.org/users/getting-help.html}Getting Help with Maven}}
+
+
+* How to Contribute
+
+  As with any open source project, there are several ways you can help:
+
+  * <<Join a mailing list>>\
+    Join a {{{mail-lists.html}mailing list}} and answer other user's questions
+
+  * <<Fix bugs>>\
+    Report bugs, feature requests and other issues in the
+    {{{issue-tracking.html}Jira}} issue tracking system.
+
+  * <<Build it>>\
+	 Build Archiva for yourself, in order to fix bugs. Submit patches to
+	 reported issues (both those you find, or that others have filed).
+
+  * <<Write documentation>>\
+    Help with the documentation by pointing out areas that are lacking or
+	 unclear, and if you are so inclined, submitting patches to correct it.  You
+	 can quickly contribute rough thoughts to the
+	 {{{http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Archiva} wiki}}, or you can
+	 volunteer to help collate and organise information that is already there.
+
+  []
+
+  Your participation in the community is much appreciated!
