+# Contributing
+
+Thank you for considering contributing to Iced! Feel free to read [the ecosystem overview] and [the roadmap] to get an idea of the current state of the library.
+
+The main advice for new contributors is to share your ideas with the community. Introduce yourself over our [Zulip server] or [start a discussion in an issue](https://github.com/hecrj/iced/issues) explaining what you have in mind (do not be afraid of duplicated issues!). If you want to talk directly to me (@hecrj), you can also find me on Discord (`lone_scientist#9554`).
+
+This is a very important step. It helps to coordinate work, get on the same page, and start building trust. Please, do not skip it! Remember that [Code is the Easy Part] and also [The Hard Parts of Open Source]!
+
+Iced is in its infancy and, besides directly writing code, there are many other different ways you can contribute. To name a few:
+
+- Writing tutorials or blog posts
+- Improving the documentation
+- Submitting bug reports and use cases
+- Sharing, discussing, researching and exploring new ideas
