{{Main page/Leftbox|title=Put a piece of yourself into FlightGear!
  |contents=FlightGear is an open project, anybody can contribute, there's plenty of stuff to do already and so much more can and will be done. Although it sounds like (and we might call it) volunteering, though, remember that in the FlightGear community what should drive you is [[How the FlightGear project works|the fun of doing something]]. Now let's get to the business.
 
In FlightGear "development" identifies any activity that improves or adds something to the project. So, it's not just code development, that we call core development for distinction. There's also scenery development, aircraft development and all the stuff you can see in the column here on the left. If you want an extended overview of what you can do in FlightGear, check out the [[Volunteer]] page.
 
Actually what's in this portal is not everything you can do to contribute. There's also documentation, which is represented by the [[FlightGear Manual]]... and this wiki of course! If you want to contribute to the last one, head off to the [[Portal:Wiki|Wiki Portal]]. There's a lot to do there too.
 
If you want to get in touch with other developers, register an account at the forum, and for core development subscribe to the [[mailing list]].
