## 🥾 Choose your adventure

There *so* many ways to contribute to Mage! We welcome all contributions, no matter how small.

Start your contribution journey below, whether you're an *apprentice* or a *master of spells*. Once you feel confident in your path, [read on](/contributing/development-environment) to learn how to get started.

  <Accordion title="🧪 Alchemist">
    Thanks for leading the charge! The easiest way to contribute is to report bugs or suggest new features.

    ### Report bugs

    Head on over to our [Slack](https://mage.ai/chat) and let us know what's up. We recommend the `#bugs-troubleshoot-questions` channel.

    ### Squash bugs

    We're always trying to make our project better, but we need your help! Take a look at our [GitHub issues](https://github.com/mage-ai/mage-ai/issues) for small to medium complexity projects and bugs that need fixing.

    ### Suggest new features

    We *love* your suggestions. First take a look at our [roadmap](/about/roadmap) to see if your idea is already planned. You might also consider checking out open issues on [GitHub](https://github.com/mage-ai/mage-ai).

    Otherwise, drop a line in our [Slack](https://mage.ai/chat) and let us know what you're thinking. We recommend the `#feature-requests` channel.

    ### Write documentation

    We have *a lot* of docs. We really hope they're fun to read, but we know they can be improved.

    The great news is that they're fun to write, too! The *easiest* way to contribute is by scrolling to the bottom of the page you'd like to edit (maybe this one) and clicking the "Edit this page" link. You'll be taken to GitHub where you can make your changes and submit a pull request.

    </Frame>

    If you like working in code, that's great too! All of our docs are written in markdown, so you can just pull Mage from [GitHub](https://github.com/mage-ai/mage-ai) and start writing.

    ### Backend development

    We're always looking for help with the Mage backend— that might look like refactoring code, adding new features, or fixing bugs.

    [Here's](https://github.com/mage-ai/mage-ai/pull/3497) an example of an *amazing* backend PR that drastically improved dbt functionality in Mage.

    Check out our [roadmap](https://airtable.com/shrJctaGt4tvU27uF/tbl5bIlFkk2KhCpL4) for small to large complexity projects that need your help!

    ### Data integration

    Mage supports [data integration](/data-integrations/overview) pipelines via the Singer spec. We're always looking for help adding/updating our sources and destinations.

    Here's an example of a [great community PR](https://github.com/mage-ai/mage-ai/pull/2277) & here's our [docs on adding a source](/contributing/data-integrations/adapt-existing-source).

    ### IO operations (SQL block) and templates

    Want to help build *awesome* tools *inside* the pipeline builder page? Help out with our IO operations by adding new SQL blocks! Here's a PR that implements a [DuckDB IO Class](https://github.com/mage-ai/mage-ai/pull/3463).

    The simplest way you can help is by adding data loader/exporter templates. Here's an example PR that adds a few for [DuckDB](https://github.com/mage-ai/mage-ai/pull/3553).
