+# Contributing to WebAssembly
+
+WebAssembly is initially designed and implemented by browser vendors who are
+interested in meeting a variaty of [use cases](UseCases.md). As design and
+implementation progresses they'll need input and contributions from developers
+interested in using WebAssembly.
+
+Interested in participating? We suggest you start by:
+
+1. Reading the [WebAssembly design][].
+2. Joining the IRC channel `irc://irc.w3.org:6667/#webassembly`.
+3. Joining the [mailing list][].
+
+With that background understood and communication set up, [fork][] the relevant
+[WebAssembly repositories][] and send a [pull request][]. Someone from the
+[workshop group][] can then merge your pull request.
+
+Frequent and high-quality contributors will be invited to join the
+[contributors group][]. Truly dedicated individuals will then be invited to the
+[workshop group][].
+
+Happy assembly!
