+Vircadia is an open-source project, so all of our code and documentation is available for you to look at. You too can contribute to our endeavor for the metaverse!
+Our main `GitHub repository <https://github.com/kasenvr/project-athena>`_ contains the source to many of the components of our software for creating virtual worlds.
+There are tons of ways you can contribute to the various parts that make up Vircadia.

+-------------
+Documentation
+-------------
+You can help create and maintain the documentation in several ways:
 
-All information required to build from source and develop the project is found in the :doc:`Developer Section <developer>`.
+- Report errors or missing information to the `Github issue tracker <https://github.com/kasenvr/vircadia-docs-sphinx/issues>`_.
+- Create or change documentation pages and open a `PR (pull request) on Github <https://github.com/kasenvr/vircadia-docs-sphinx/pulls>`_.
+- `Review changes <https://github.com/kasenvr/vircadia-docs-sphinx/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3A"needs+review">`_ to the documentation on Github. We would like to have two reviewers for most changes, as there are always things that the writer and the first reviewer overlook.
+
+
+-----------
+Translation
+-----------
+As an international project, Vircadia relies on translators to be able to reach users that do not speak English.
+Currently the only component that has translation support is the documentation.
+You can help translating using our online translation system `Weblate <https://weblate.vircadia.dev>`_ by either submitting translations or becoming a maintainer for your language and checking translations before they make it into the documentation.
+More information on translating the documentation can be found in its `README <https://github.com/kasenvr/vircadia-docs-sphinx/blob/master/README.md>`_.
+
+---------
+Donations
+---------
+Most, if not all, of us work voluntarily without any payment.
+While we do not have an entity to manage donations, you can donate to specific members of the team via various services like PayPal, Patreon, or Github Sponsors.
+
+You can also put bounties on specific features you want to see implemented or issues you want to see fixed, by leaving a comment on our `issue tracker <https://github.com/kasenvr/project-athena/issues>`_.
+Of course, bounties are also an option for other parts of the project like the documentation.
+The bounties are based on trust, so if you are unsure about something speak to a core developer or bring it up at a community or developer meeting.
+Most of the developers are highly trained and experienced, normally earning upwards of 40$ an hour on the free market. Keep that in mind if you want to see something done that no one else is personally interested in.
+
+-----------
+Development
+-----------
+You can help the general development of the Vircadia project without being much a of a developer yourself by:
+
+- filing issues on our `issue tracker <https://github.com/kasenvr/project-athena/issues>`_,
+- helping to narrow down those issues,
+- or `testing pull requests <https://github.com/kasenvr/project-athena/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3A"needs+QA+(testing)">`_.
+
+If you are a developer, you can contribute directly to the project via pull requests. Keep the `guidelines <https://github.com/kasenvr/project-athena/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md>`_ in mind when contributing to the main software.
+Some additional information can be found in the :doc:`Developer Section <developer>`.
+An important job for developers that have become more accustomed to the platform is `code reviews <https://github.com/kasenvr/project-athena/pulls?q=is%3Apr+is%3Aopen+label%3A"needs+CR+(code+review)">`_ of open pull requests.
+
+------------------
+Miscellaneous work
+------------------
+There is also a lot of miscellaneous work that comes up every now and then:
+
+- 2D art like posters or banners,
+- 3D models,
+- scripts,
+- video editing,
+- and so on.
+
+It is tremendously helpful for a developers to have someone they can ask when they need work done outside of their area of experience.
