# 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](/articles/contributing/community-guidelines/en/).
|
|
|
|
## 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/)
|
|
|
|
## Improving Documentation
|
|
|
|
Our Help Center improves when the documentation improves. If there is articles that you think would be valuable to add, get involved by submitting pull requests to our [Help Center Docs](https://github.com/solus-project/help-center-docs) repo!
|
|
|
|
## 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! *Note that web IRC clients are not permitted..*
|
|
|
|
- [#Solus](irc://chat.freenode.net/#Solus) - Support channel.
|
|
- [#Solus-Chat](irc://chat.freenode.net/#Solus-Chat) - Off-topic channel.
|
|
- [#Solus-Dev](irc://chat.freenode.net/#Solus-Dev) - Development-related discussions.
|
|
- [#Solus-LiveStream](irc://chat.freenode.net/#Solus-LiveStream) - Channel used for discussion during Hackfests and other official Solus live streams.

|
## 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](/articles/packaging/guide/en/)
|
|
|
|
## Report Bugs
