| ## Getting Involved |
| Getting involved with Aries is easy. First, any help is welcome and we |
| welcome you on board. Here are some suggestions for how you can get |
| involved in Aries: |
| |
| * Take a look at the existing modules |
| to identify what areas you are interested in. |
| * Take a look at the [Aries proposal](http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/AriesProposal) |
| to see if there are things there that you are interested in but we haven't |
| created subprojects for yet. If you're not sure whether something is in |
| scope for Aries or not, send a mail to the developers [mailing list|MailingLists] |
| and ask. |
| * Try out the [tutorials](/documentation/tutorials/blueprinthelloworldtutorial.html) |
| to get a feel for what Aries is about. |
| * Subscribe to one (or more) of the [mailing lists](mailinglists.html) |
| . If you want to get involved as a _user_, subscribe to user mailing list. |
| If you want to get involved as a _contributer_, in the development of |
| Aries, subscribe to the developer list. |
| * Help answer questions posted to the user mailing list for areas that you |
| are familiar with. Your real usage experience can be very valuable to other |
| users as well as developers on the project. |
| * Would like to get involved in development? Have new ideas? Start with the |
| mailing list and share your thoughts. |
| * Contribute to feature development. Just let the community know what you'd |
| like to work on. It is as easy as that. |
| * Identify [JIRA](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARIES) |
| s and browse the [source](https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/aries/trunk) |
| in the area that you are interested in and provide patches. |
| * If in doubt about where to start, send a note to the mailing list and |
| mention your area of interest. Any question is welcomed. We'd like you to |
| be involved! |
