Hello everyone,

I would like to participate and contribute to AWX.

Can someone find the time to help me understand the different development approaches you have used?

Thanks in advance

Hey Robin,

Welcome! Have a look at our contributing guide, which details how to get start developing AWX, and the sorts of things to work on:

[https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/CONTRIBUTING.md)

We’ve also got an IRC room on freenode (#ansible-awx) where the core developers hang out.

Matt also gave a demo with a dive into the main components in AWX. It’s from back in 2017 but I think it mostly still applies. It’ll at least give you an idea of what’s there.
