## Who can contribute?

The goal of this Glossary is to make the cloud native space — which is notorious for its complexity — simpler for people by making it easier to understand.
To do that, we must focus on simplicity.

Explaining complex concepts in simple words is *really* hard.
And while the digestible, user-friendly outcome may seem easy, achieving the desired simplicity is the result of hard work and collaboration between cloud native experts.
In short, to contribute new terms, you need a deep understanding of the topic.

The localization effort is a bit different.
With solid existing definitions in English, less experienced contributors can still provide good localized terms.
This side of the project is better suited for beginners.
