## Getting Involved
Solus is a big undertaking, and as such there are many ways in which your involvement can help us. Naturally, that means there are also many ways in which you can help out.
### Community Guidelines
You may view community guidelines [here](/help-center/contributing/community-guidelines/).
### Community Forums
With so many new users joining, there are always more people needing help. A great way to help us out, would be to help out our users on the [Solus Project Forums](https://solus-project.com/forums/)
### IRC
[Internet Relay Chat](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat) is a great way to discuss issues and development with the community, and project developers. It's also a great place for getting support, but remember due
to timezone differences there might not always be people present to answer your query immediately. You can access IRC using free clients like Hexchat and Quassel!
- [#Solus](irc://chat.freenode.net/#Solus) - Main project IRC channel for discussions and support
- [#Solus-Chat](irc://chat.freenode.net/#Solus-Chat) - Off topic channel for Solus
- [#Solus-Dev](irc://chat.freenode.net/#Solus-Dev) - Development talks, project developers invariably present.
### Packaging
There may be software you wish to have on your system that is currently not available in the repository. While you are more than welcome to submit a bug and wait for someone else to package the software you want, you can also improve
and contribute to the community by packaging software. If you're interested in learning to package software, feel free to visit our documentation [here](/help-center/packaging/guide/)
### Report Bugs
We're always looking to improve our systems, especially when they're not functioning as expected. By reporting bugs, you improve the system not only for you, but for all Solus Project users.
