We’ve published a new [Contribution Guide](https://github.com/zeek/zeek/wiki/Contribution-Guide) on the GitHub wiki. Previously focused on code and documentation only, this updated guide is now a unified resource covering all the ways you can contribute to Zeek.

The guide came directly out of community feedback: people want to contribute but don’t always know how or whether they’re the right fit. The goal was to make the answer to “how do I contribute?” clear regardless of your background or experience level.

**Seven contribution types are covered:**

- Share your experience
- Answer questions
- Testing and feedback
- Content (blog, video, workshops)
- Documentation
- Packages
- Code

Each type has a clear next step, and the higher-barrier types link to sub-pages with more detail on the process.
