Togetherwe can make C::S a better service for everyone. :)## Rough procedure1. Join our [Gitter channel](https://gitter.im/code-stats/Lobby) to discuss what you could help with. The channel is also mirrored on [Matrix](https://matrix.to/#/#code_stats:matrix.org) and [IRC](irc://irc.freenode.net/codestats) if you prefer those. It's important to talk with us first to avoid doing duplicate work with someone. We can also help with any installation or programming issues.2. Ask us for help with anything you need! :)
