Looking to get involved? Start here!

Welcome to Django — we hope you have fun! :unicorn:

If you’re looking to get involved, the first thing to read is the Contributing Guide:

This has everything you need to know to get started.

Make sure to check out the Advice for New Contributors and, when you’re ready to write some code, the guide on running Django’s Unit Tests.

The Mentorship category on the Django Forum here is a place where you can ask questions if you’re stuck, or if you need some other guidance.

Don’t be shy — We’re happy to help! :smile:

Welcome aboard! :sailboat:
