Dear devs,

I came from the community page. I was wondering how to help developing Ansible. Is there a ticket system somewhere? With what should I start with?

Thank you,

David

Hey David –

The [Ansible Developer Guide](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/dev_guide/index.html) is a great place to get started. There are also several IRC channels available. Per the [Community Information & Contributing](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/community.html#i-d-like-to-learn-how-to-develop-on-ansible) page:

- #ansible - For general use questions and support.

- #ansible-devel - For discussions on developer topics and code related to features/bugs.

- #ansible-meeting - For public community meetings. We will generally announce these on one or more of the above mailing lists.

- #ansible-notices - Mostly bot output from things like Github, etc.
