# How Can I Help?
If you want to write code with us (and receive donations from NLNet
for doing so), keep reading. If you want to *learn*
-so that you can write code with us, see below. If there is anything else,
+so that you can write code with us, see "How can I learn" section,
+below. If there is anything else,
just get in touch on the list, there is plenty to do.
1. First, join the
-[mailing list](http://lists.libre-riscv.org/mailman/listinfo/libre-riscv-dev),
-introduce yourself (people will happily say "hello" back"). Read through
-[recent posts](http://lists.libre-riscv.org/pipermail/libre-riscv-dev/)
-and the [[charter]], and let everyone know, on the list that you're
-happy with it and agree to it.
-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 [git repositories](https://git.libre-riscv.org).
