There are three things that we ask you to do whenever you can: improve and update existing pages, help with current projects and correct language mistakes whenever you spot them.

Everyone's help is welcome. If you feel like contributing a lot, it is great but remember: quality is much more important than quantity; for example, it is much better to write one good article than a hundred bad ones.

For information on how to write new articles or edit existing ones, please follow this link.
