+Welcome to Spacebar, if you've made it here, I'm guessing you're looking to contribute.
+
+A good place to start would be over at the issues tab, though https://docs.spacebar.chat/contributing/server/missingroute/
+may also be a good indicator for things that are remaining.
+
+If you find yourself working on something, or want to discuss particular issues, feel free to drop by our developers guild (<a href="https://fermi.chat/invite/NAa7zJ?instance=https%3A%2F%2Fspacebar.chat">
+<img src="https://api.old.server.spacebar.chat/api/guilds/1471300112201604309/shield.svg" />
+</a>)
+
+Keep in mind that we do, under no circumstances, accept AI-generated, AI-assisted, or otherwise machine-generated contributions, for legal reasons.
