+# Contributing to Rust
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to Rust! There are many ways to contribute
+and we appreciate all of them.
+
+The best way to get started is by asking for help in the [#new
+members](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/122652-new-members)
+Zulip stream. We have lots of docs below of how to get started on your own, but
+the Zulip stream is the best place to *ask* for help.
+
+Documentation for contributing to Rust is located in the [Guide to Rustc Development](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/),
+commonly known as the [rustc-dev-guide]. Despite the name, this guide documents
+not just how to develop rustc (the Rust compiler), but also how to contribute to the standard library and rustdoc.
+
+## About the [rustc-dev-guide]
+
+The [rustc-dev-guide] is meant to help document how rustc –the Rust compiler– works,
+as well as to help new contributors get involved in rustc development. It is recommend
+to read and understand the [rustc-dev-guide] before making a contribution. This guide
+talks about the different bots in the Rust ecosystem, the Rust development tools,
+bootstrapping, the compiler architecture, source code representation, and more.
+
+## [Getting help](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html#asking-questions)
+
+There are many ways you can get help when you're stuck. Rust has many platforms for this:
+[internals], [rust-zulip], and [rust-discord]. It is recommended to ask for help on
+the [rust-zulip], but any of these platforms are a great way to seek help and even
+find a mentor! You can learn more about asking questions and getting help in the
+[Asking Questions](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html#asking-questions) chapter of the [rustc-dev-guide].
+
+## Bug reports
+
+Did a compiler error message tell you to come here? If you want to create an ICE report,
+refer to [this section][contributing-bug-reports] and [open an issue][issue template].
