+## CONTRIBUTING
+
+AzerothCore is a learning project, and there are lots of different ways to contribute to the project:
+
+* By [testing our fixes](http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/How-to-test-a-PR) (we can teach you how to correctly use Git to help us but that will also help you out tremendously)
+* By developing directly to the core or the modules
+* By reporting bugs within the project
+* By [creating new modules](http://www.azerothcore.org/wiki/Create-a-Module)
+* By improving our wiki
+* By providing direct support to our community (on discord, StackOverflow or specialized forums)
+* By making extra content (video tutorial for example)
+* By putting bounties on issues
+
+If you want to contribute to the project, you will find a lot of resources that will guide you in our wiki.
+
+Feel free to join us on [our Discord chat server](https://discord.gg/gkt4y2x) where we taught a lot of new people how to get started and who are now important contributors!
