## Finding things to work on
The first place to start is always looking over the current github issues for the project you are interested in contributing to. Issues marked with [help wanted](https://github.com/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+user%3Astellar+label%3A%22help+wanted%22) are usually pretty self contained and a good place to get started.
stellar.org also uses these same github issues to keep track of what we are working on. If you see any issues that are assigned to a particular person or have the `in progress` label that means someone is currently working on that issue. The `orbit` label means we will likely be working on this issue in the next week or two. The `ready` label means that the issue is one we have prioritized and will be working on in our next orbit (stellar term for sprint) or two.

# How to contribute to a Stellar project

Your contributions to the Stellar network will help improve the world’s financial
infrastructure, faster.

We want to make it as easy as possible to contribute changes that
help the Stellar network grow and thrive. There are a few guidelines that we
ask contributors to follow so that we can merge your changes quickly.

## Getting Started

* Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/join)
* Create a GitHub issue for your contribution, assuming one does not already exist.
* Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce if it is a bug.
* Fork the repository on GitHub

* All content, comments, and pull requests must follow the [Stellar Community Guidelines](https://www.stellar.org/community-guidelines/).
* Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
* Submit a pull request to the repository for the project you’re working on in the Stellar organization.
* Include a descriptive [commit message](https://github.com/erlang/otp/wiki/Writing-good-commit-messages).
* Changes contributed via pull request should focus on a single issue at a time.
* Rebase your local changes against the master branch. Resolve any conflicts that arise.

At this point you're waiting on us. We like to at least comment on pull requests within three
business days (typically, one business day). We may suggest some changes, improvements or alternatives.

![Stellar Ecosystem](https://www.stellar.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/ecosystem-overview-2.png)

Using the Stellar network, you can build mobile wallets, banking tools, smart devices that pay for themselves, and just about anything else you can dream up involving payments! Even though Stellar is a complex distributed system, working with it doesn’t need to be complicated.

## API: Horizon

**Most applications interact with the Stellar network through [Horizon](../../horizon/learn),** a RESTful HTTP API server. Horizon gives you a straightforward way to submit transactions, check accounts, and subscribe to events. Because it’s just HTTP, you can communicate with Horizon using your web browser, simple command line tools like cURL, or the Stellar SDK for your favorite programming language.

Stellar.org maintains [JavaScript](), [Java](), and [Go]()-based SDKs for communicating with Horizon. There are also community-maintained SDKs for [Ruby](), [Python](), and [C#]().

## Network Backbone: Stellar Core

Behind the scenes, every Horizon server connects to **[Stellar Core](../../stellar-core/learn/admin.html), the backbone of the Stellar network.** The Stellar Core software does the hard work of validating and agreeing on the status of every transaction with other instances of Core through the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP). The Stellar network itself is a collection of connected Stellar Cores run by various individuals and entities around the world. Some instances have a Horizon server you can communicate with, while others exist only to add reliability to the overall network.

You might want to host your own instance of Stellar Core in order to submit transactions without depending on a third party, have more control over who to trust, or simply to help make the Stellar network more reliable and robust for others.

## Big Picture: The Stellar Network

The Stellar network is a worldwide collection of Stellar Cores, each maintained by different people and organizations. The distributed nature of the network makes it reliable and safe.

All these Stellar Cores—the network of nodes—eventually agree on a set of transactions. Each transaction on the network costs a small fee: 100 stroops (0.00001 <abbr title="Lumens">XLM</abbr>) This fee helps prevent bad actors from spamming the network.

To help you test your tools and applications, Stellar.org operates a small test network and Horizon instance. [Get started with the testnet.](../concepts/test-net.html)

@jessica-collier: @irisli suggested the page title and overview here could be a little better and more descriptive. (we probably don’t need the H1 at all)


## [Stellar Core](../stellar-core/learn/admin.html)
Stellar Core is the backbone of the Stellar network and does the hard work of validating and agreeing on the status of every transaction with other instances of Core through the Stellar Consensus Protocol (SCP).

## [Horizon](https://github.com/stellar/horizon)
Horizon is the client-facing API server for the Stellar ecosystem. It acts as the interface between Stellar Core and applications that want to access the Stellar network. If you are running Stellar Core, you will probably also want to run Horizon.

## [Federation Server](https://github.com/stellar/federation)
Go implementation of Federation protocol server. This federation server is designed to be dropped in to your existing infrastructure. It can be configured to pull the data it needs out of your existing DB.

## [Bridge Server](https://github.com/stellar/bridge-server)
Stellar’s Bridge server is an easier-to-use version of Horizon, meant to simplify compliance operations and other more complicated integrations. Because it stores and manages keys and account information, access to it should be well protected. Unlike Horizon, it should never be exposed to the public internet.

## [Archivist](https://github.com/stellar/archivist)
This is a small tool, written in Go, for working with stellar-core history archives directly. It is a standalone tool that does not require stellar-core, or any other programs.
