Contributing to Tor ------------------- ### Getting started Welcome! We have a bunch of documentation about how to develop Tor in the doc/HACKING/ directory. We recommend that you start with doc/HACKING/README.1st.md , and then go from there. It will tell you how to find your way around the source code, how to get involved with the Tor community, how to write patches, and much more! You don't have to be a C developer to help with Tor: have a look at https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/volunteer ! The Tor Project is committed to fostering a inclusive community where people feel safe to engage, share their points of view, and participate.
