# Contributing to Dendrite
Everyone is welcome to contribute to Dendrite! We aim to make it as easy as
possible to get started.
## Picking Things To Do
If you're new then feel free to pick up an issue labelled [easy](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/labels/easy).
These should be well-contained, small pieces of work that can be picked up to
help you get familiar with the code base.
Once you're comfortable with hacking on Dendrite there are issues lablled as
[help-wanted](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/labels/help-wanted), these
are often slightly larger or more complicated pieces of work but are hopefully
nonetheless fairly well-contained.
We ask people who are familiar with Dendrite to leave the [easy](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/labels/easy)
issues so that there is always a way for new people to come and get involved.
## Getting Help
For questions related to developing on Dendrite we have a dedicated room on
Matrix [#dendrite-dev:matrix.org](https://riot.im/develop/#/room/#dendrite-dev:matrix.org)
where we're happy to help.
For more general questions please use [#dendrite:matrix.org](https://riot.im/develop/#/room/#dendrite:matrix.org).
## Sign off
We ask that everyone who contributes to the project signs off their
contributions, in accordance with the [DCO](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst#sign-off).
