### The Answer to the Title.
|

Contributing is the act of helping further the given environment/community by means of labor or assistance, over other methods; such as Moderating or Donating.

Contributing is the act of helping further the given environment/community by means of labor or assistance, over other methods; such as Moderating or Donating.
|
||||
The most classic way of doing so is through means like Bughunting, Bug Reporting, Patches, or other meaningful contributions, such as this nice wiki you are reading.
|
||||
The basic goal is to ease off some of the pressure on the given leadership of the community; in the case of Thunix, the SysAdmins/Staff. As such, contributing is really any task that accomplishes that goal.

Contributing is a great way to give back to a community you love and support where you cannot be part of the staff team or compensate some other way, usually financially.

I proposed I head and maintain the wiki, as a sort of weekend project; just something to do in my spare time. Look at how it expanded!

Instead of some random things every week/other week, we have three contributors! All making more pushes to the wiki than I can bear listening to the notifications for!

|

Something so innocuous, as this little weekend project, turned into a major part of Thunix, and set an example of how powerful small contributions are.
|
||||
With every push to this wiki, is one less thing that the SysAdmins have to explain to the skid asking questions in IRC (Which is usually me, lets be real....).

### Cool story bro, now how the fuck is that relevant to outside of Thunix?

The point was this; No matter how big or small a contribution might be, it has the potential to really affect the entire ecosystem.

Now, let's talk about the giant in the room, being the way most might be familiar with contributing to; [Git/Version Control.](/top1_sub1). Prepare yourself for a crash-course and generic overview of Git. (We will probably release a dedicated topic for just git Eventually <sup>TM</sup>)
