6 | The best way to get started is by asking for help in the [#new |
| 7 | members](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/122652-new-members) | |
| 8 | Zulip stream. We have lots of docs below of how to get started on your own, but | |
| 9 | the Zulip stream is the best place to *ask* for help. | |

| 12 | Development][rustc-dev-guide], commonly known as the [rustc-dev-guide]. Documentation for the | |

| 15 | ## About the [rustc-dev-guide] | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | The [rustc-dev-guide] is meant to help document how rustc –the Rust compiler– works, | |
| 18 | as well as to help new contributors get involved in rustc development. It is recommend | |
| 19 | to read and understand the [rustc-dev-guide] before making a contribution. This guide | |
| 20 | talks about the different bots in the Rust ecosystem, the Rust development tools, | |
| 21 | bootstrapping, the compiler architecture, source code representation, and more. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | ## [Getting help](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html#asking-questions) | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | There are many ways you can get help when you're stuck. Rust has many platforms for this: | |
| 26 | [internals], [rust-zulip], and [rust-discord]. It is recommended to ask for help on | |
| 27 | the [rust-zulip], but any of these platforms are a great way to seek help and even | |
| 28 | find a mentor! You can learn more about asking questions and getting help in the | |
| 29 | [Asking Questions](https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/getting-started.html#asking-questions) chapter of the [rustc-dev-guide]. | |
