### I have an idea about how to make exercism a better tool for practice

We love the way you're thinking!

* Peek at the vision for what Exercism wants to be.
* Skim through the existing issues in [`exercism/discussions`](https://github.com/exercism/discussions/issues) repository to see if someone is talking about some part of the same idea.
* Either chime in on an existing conversation or start your own. Think of this repo as a kind of message board.

### I would like to help; I am fluent in / want to get better at a particular programming language

Are you a language enthusiast? Help other people fall in love with your language by:

#### Being a Track Mentor

One of the best ways to contribute to Exercism is by reviewing others' submissions and providing actionable, specific and kind feedback (think: ASK).

- you can give feedback on any exercise for which you have submitted in your [Activity Stream](http://exercism.io/inbox).
- become a track mentor.

#### Helping Maintain a Track

- You can quickly identify exercises not yet implemented for a given language by picking it from the [languages page](http://exercism.io/languages) and following the "Contributing to (language) on Exercism" link.

* getting involved with [one of the Exercism language tracks](http://exercism.io/repositories), or
- by [giving feedback](http://exercism.io/inbox) to people who submit solutions to a track.
