You can also choose from existing issues for which community contributions are welcome. [Projects for .NET Community contributors](https://github.com/dotnet/docs/projects/35) lists many of the work items that are available for commmunity contributors. Depending on your interests and level of commitment, you can choose from issues in the following categories:
22+
23+
- **Maintenance**. This category includes fairly simple contributions, such as fixing broken or incorrect links, adding missing code examples, or addressing limited content issues. In some cases, these issues may concern large numbers of files. In that case, you should let us know what you'd like to work on before you begin.
24+
25+
- **Content updates**. Given the enormity of the doc set, content easily becomes outdated and requires revision. In addition, for a variety of reason, some content has been duplicated or even triplicated. Updating content involves making sure that individual topics are current or revising content in a feature area to eliminate duplication and ensure that all unique content is preserved in the smaller documentation set.
26+
27+
- **New content authoring**. If you're interested in authoring your own topic, these issues list topics that we know we'd like to add to our doc set. Let us know before you begin working on a topic, though. If you're interested in writing a topic that isn't listed here, open an issue.
