-== How to report a bug ==
+Django is an open source project, run by volunteers - people just like you! We need your help to make Django as good as it can possibly be.
 
-'''You must [/login log in with a GitHub account] before you can [/newticket file a ticket].'''
+Django is available under the [https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/LICENSE BSD license]. The source code repository is stored on [https://github.com/django/django Github].
 
-Please read our documentation on [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/bugs-and-features/ reporting bugs and requesting features] first.
+== Getting involved == 
 
-== How to contribute ==
+'''Much of Django's infrastructure is hosted on Github, or uses a Github login. To log a ticket, or add content to this wiki, you'll need to [/login log in with a GitHub account].'''
 
-The documentation contains a [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/ contributing guide] that should answer your questions. If it doesn't, file a bug!
+Once you've logged in with your Github account, please read [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/internals/contributing/ our contibution guide].  This document describes how the Django community works, and the various ways you can contribute. If this document doesn't answer your questions, please [http://code.djangoproject.com/newticket/ file a bug]!
+
+If you've read that document, and are looking for a way to contribute, why not try one of the following:
+                 
+ * [https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/Reports Tickets]: View active tickets, make bug reports and contribute feature requests. **If your bug report is a security issue, DO NOT report it with a ticket. Please read our [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/bugs-and-features/#reporting-security-issues guide to reporting security issues]**. 
+ * [wiki:LittleEasyImprovements Little, easy improvements]: Get your feet wet by taking on one of these small tasks. 
+ * [https://code.djangoproject.com/query?status=!closed&easy=1 "Easy Pickings" Tickets]: Work on simple tickets to get familiar with Django's code base and the contribution process. 
+ * DjangoDesign: Are you a designer rather than a coder? We still want your input. Let us know how we can improve on Django's visual/UX design.
