+# What you can do to help FiXos
+
+Depending your *skills*, your *motivation* and your *preferences*, there are many things you can
+probably do to improve FiXos.
+If you feel you are a kernel hacker, its great!
+But even if you think you have not enough technical skill to deal directly with the kernel code,
+there are some task as much important you may do!
+
+## Hack the kernel!
+This is the most evident kind of task : help us to improve the kernel code, to make it faster,
+smarter, more stable, or portable accross other hardware platforms.
+Of course, writing code for the kernel need to *master* at least the C language, and depending
+the work you want to do, a good knowledge of the underlying hardware *may* help (or not, some parts
+of FiXos are really generics and do not deal at all with the hardware).
+
+More informations to be ready are available in the wiki : [Resources about kernel hacking](kernel-hacking) and [Some documentation of FiXos internals](fixos-internals).
+
+
+## Test it!
+Writing a kernel which work well on a given platform is cool.
+Writing a kernel which work perfectly on **many** platforms is better!
+
+If you think you have not enough time or skill to improve the kernel code directly, you maybe
+would like to improve it *indirectly*, by testing and [reporting bugs](bug-reporting) to developers.
+
+
+## Improve documentation
+Kernel documentation is *very* important, but at this time it really lacks.
+Helping us to create documentation, both for kernel and userspace hackers, and helping to correct and
+improve it is *not* less useful than writing code!
+
+In addition, if English is your mother tongue and/or you feel confortable with it, there are probably
+many things to correct in the documentation, in this wiki, and maybe elsewhere!
+
+
+## Hack the userspace!
+Userspace is less delicate, and maybe more fun if you like to interract with the user instead of with the hardware.
+A kernel alone is as useless as a nice coffee cup without coffee (sorry, first analogy I found).
+
+So let's make some coff... hum, some softwares for FiXos user space!
