# How Can I Help?
-If you would like to fund us, see [[funding]]. We currently have some funding and always appreciate more! If you are a Corporation or an individual you can donate tax-free to NLNet, and they can in turn gift our developers. Contact lkcl@lkcl.net for more information.

-If you want to write code with us, keep reading.

1. First, join the
[mailing list](http://lists.libre-riscv.org/mailman/listinfo/libre-riscv-dev),
introduce yourself, and read through
[recent posts](http://lists.libre-riscv.org/pipermail/libre-riscv-dev/)
and the [[charter]].
-
2. The next thing you should do is read through the [bugs
list](http://bugs.libre-riscv.org) and see if there are any bugs that
pique your interest.
-
3. After that, go ahead and take a look at the resources section below.
-Try and clone a repository with ``git clone https://git.libre-riscv.org/git/repositoryname.git``
-
-4. If you plan to do HDL work, you should familiarize yourself with our [[HDL_workflow]].

5. We do have funding available (see [[nlnet]]) upon completion of issues -
we are also working on procuring more funding which gets the project to
nanometre scale tapeout.

-6. After all this, if you feel that Libre-SoC is a good cause that
-you would like to contribute to, add yourself to the [[current_members]]

+you would like to contribute to, add yourself to the [current_members](about_us)
page, fill in some information about yourself, and join the mailing list
and say hello.
Also note that you can edit this wiki. See the last section of this page.
+## How can I learn?
+
+The whole purpose of this project is to be a learning environment as well as an actual business. If you want to learn how to do ASIC design, with a view to contributing or starting your own ASIC business, start here: [[3d_gpu/tutorial]]. Yes, really: do not let anyone tell you that you can't learn this stuff too.

+Along the way, if you find any resources or links that you found particularly helpful, please add them to that page so that other people can also benefit.

## Needed Skills
Most labor is currently being applied to developing the GPU portion of
-the Libre-SoC.
+the Libre-SOC.
The highest priority needed at the moment is a c++ engineer to work on
a MESA 3D driver. This will begin life similar to SwiftShader however
-retaining the vectorisation and predication intrinsics as well as hardware accelerated opcodes (all of which SwiftShader lacks)

Medium to long-term we need HDL engineers. Particularly those familiar
with nMigen or just python. Most of the techniques being used require
Also, individuals with experience in formal mathematical verification
are quite welcome.
