| provides a wide array of information, [FAQs](https://community.apache.org/newbiefaq.html), and help to newcomers as |
| well as existing committers, and maintains a number of [helpful tools](#getcode). |

| |
| ComDev manages a number of helpful tools for finding your way around. |
| |
| - The [Apache Projects Directory](https://projects.apache.org/) lists all our software technologies. [See the Project Directory **code**](https://projects.apache.org/about.html) and the JSON data feeds available. |
| - [Apache Committer Phone Book](http://home.apache.org/) lists all individual Apache committers. [See the Phonebook **code**](https://home.apache.org/phonebook-about.html). |
| - Some projects [ask for Help Wanted](http://helpwanted.apache.org/) with easy-to-get-started tasks or bugs for newcomers. [See the HelpWanted **code**](http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/comdev/helpwanted.apache.org/). |
| - The [Project Reporting Tool](https://reporter.apache.org/) (requires login), that helps Apache PMCs create quarterly board reports. [See the Reporter **code**](https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/comdev/projects.apache.org/). |
| - A [ComDev Wiki](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/COMDEV/ComDev+Wiki) is also available for scratch or experimental work, although most permanent content should be here in the CMS. |
