-Libre-RISCV is an effort to develop an completely open/Libre SOC that is open to the bedrock!

-This is a publicly editable wiki.
+> A chip with lots of peripherals. And a gpu. And an AI accelerator...
-All wikis are supposed to have a [[SandBox]], so this one does too.

+# Our Team
+
+We are proud of our talented and diverse [team](current_members).
+
+# How Can I Help?
+
+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``
-# Joining/Onboarding Process
+4. If you plan to do HDL work, you should familiarize yourself with our [[HDL_workflow]].
-This process probably needs some improvement, but the basic
-idea is to 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]].
+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.
-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.
+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]]
+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.
## Needed Skills
-Most labor is currently being applied to developing the GPU portion of the LibreSOC.

-The highest priority needed at the moment is a c++ engineer to work on a MESA 3D driver. This will begin life as similar to SwiftShader however retaining the vectorisation and predication intrinsics.

+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 software engineering skills (OO design, polymorphism) than they do more traditional HDL programming skills. Basically if you have experience in 2 of the following you'll do fine: python, nmigen, verilog/VHDL/gate-level design. See [[HDL_workflow]]

-Also, individuals with experience in formal mathematical verification are quite welcome.
