+How you can Help
+----------------
+
+**You like rsyslog and would like to lend us a helping hand?** This page
+tells you how easy it is to help a little bit. You can contribute to the
+project even with a single mouse click! If you could pick a single item
+from the wish list, that would be awfully helpful!
+
+This is our wish list:
+
+-  let others know how great rsyslog is
+
+   -  spread word about rsyslog in forums and newsgroups
+   -  place a link to `www.rsyslog.com <http://www.rsyslog.com>`_ from
+      your home page
+
+-  let us know about rsyslog - we are eager for feedback
+
+   -  tell us what you like and what you not like - so that we can
+      include that into development
+   -  tell us what you use rsyslog for - especially if you have high
+      traffic volume or an otherwise "uncommon" deployment. We are
+      looking for case studies and experience how rsyslog performs in
+      unusual scenarios.
+   -  allow us to post your thoughts and experiences as a "user story"
+      on the web site (so far, none are there ;))
+
+-  if you know how to create packages (rpm, deb, ...)
+
+   -  we would very much appreciate your help with package creation. We
+      know that it is important to have good binary packages for a
+      product to spread widely. Yet, we do not have the knowledge to do
+      it all ourselves. `Drop Rainer a
+      note <mailto:rgerhards@adiscon.com>`_\ if you could help us out.
+
+-  if you have configured a device for sending syslog data, and that
+   device is not in our `syslog configuration
+   database <https://www.adiscon.com/syslog-enabled-products/#>`_,
+   you might want to tell us how to configure it.
+-  if you are a corporate user
+
+   -  you might consider `Adiscon <http://www.adiscon.com>`_'s
+      commercial `MonitorWare products <http://www.monitorware.com/>`_
+      for Windows, e.g. to deliver Windows Event Log data to rsyslogd
+      (sales of the commercial products funds the open source
+      development - and they also work very well).
+   -  you might be interested in `purchasing professional support or
+      add-on
+      development <http://www.adiscon.com/Common/en/Products/techsup.php>`_
+      for rsyslog
+
+**We appreciate your help very much.** A big thank you for anything you
+might do!
