# Every contribution makes a difference
Think of open-source development as free training with a visible outcome.
Exploring new technologies is easier than in commercial environments,
where development effort is more focused on immediate results.
We welcome contributions of any kind including pull requests, ideas, bug reports,
testing, writing documentation, tutorials and blog posts. If you help with development,
you have the opportunity to learn Docker, Go, TensorFlow and much more.
## Questions? ##
Follow us on [Twitter][twitter] and join our [developers mailing list](https://groups.google.com/a/photoprism.org/forum/#!forum/developers)
to receive regular project updates, get in contact with other contributors and discuss your ideas. Don't be afraid to ask stupid questions.
## Pull requests ##
Issues labeled [help wanted](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/labels/help%20wanted) /
