+## Contributing
+
+Democratic Mediums is a participatory project that depends on community contributions. Please share your expertise by helping to make this resource more useful for others.
+
+To contribute, you'll need to fork the project on GitLab and submit a merge request once you have made your changes. The website is built with [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/), a simple but powerful static site generator for Markdown files. All site content is located in the docs/ directory, roughly organized as it appears on the site itself.
+
+If you prefer to use the GitLab online editor, you can navigate to the file you want to edit, click "Edit," and GitLab will offer to create a fork for you. Add a commit message summarizing your suggested change and then click "Commit changes."
