+How to contribute to gedit
+==========================
+
+gedit development relies on voluntary contributions and everyone is invited to
+help.
+
+If you are interested in helping us to improve gedit, you can contact the
+developers, see the “Getting in Touch” section on the
+[gedit wiki page](https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit).
+
+Contributions other than software development
+---------------------------------------------
+
+See the [GNOME wiki](https://wiki.gnome.org/).
+
+Doing **bug triaging** on the bug tracker is a very useful task for gedit,
+because gedit is used by many people and there are therefore lots of bug reports
+or feature requests.
+
+Software development
+--------------------
+
+To get started with gedit development, see the file
+[docs/gedit-development-getting-started.md](docs/gedit-development-getting-started.md).
