     5  # Understand how to contribute
     6  
     7  Contributing is a process where you work with Docker maintainers and the
     8  community to improve Docker. The maintainers are experienced contributors
     9  who specialize in one or more Docker components. Maintainers play a big role
    10  in reviewing contributions.
    11  
    12  There is a formal process for contributing. We try to keep our contribution
    13  process simple so you'll want to contribute frequently.

    16  ## The basic contribution workflow
    17  
    18  In this guide, you work through Docker's basic contribution workflow by fixing a
    19  single *beginner* issue in the `docker/docker` repository. The workflow
    20  for fixing simple issues looks like this:

    23  
    24  All Docker repositories have code and documentation. You use this same workflow
    25  for either content type. For example, you can find and fix doc or code issues.
    26  Also, you can propose a new Docker feature or propose a new Docker tutorial. 
    27  
    28  Some workflow stages do have slight differences for code or documentation
    29  contributions. When you reach that point in the flow, we make sure to tell you.

    34  Now that you know a little about the contribution process, go to the next section
