+* :doc:`Report bugs <../bugs-and-features>` in our `ticket tracker`_.
+
+* Join the |django-developers| mailing list and share your ideas for how to
+ improve Django. We're always open to suggestions. You can also interact on
+ the `Django forum`_ and the `#django-dev IRC channel`_.

+* :doc:`Submit patches <submitting-patches>` for new and/or fixed behavior. If
+ you're looking for a way to get started contributing to Django read the
+ :doc:`/intro/contributing` tutorial and have a look at the `easy pickings`_
+ tickets. The :ref:`patch-review-checklist` will also be helpful.
+

+ unit tests <unit-tests>`.
+
+* :doc:`Triage tickets and review patches <../triaging-tickets>` created by
+ other users.
