     10 <h2>Report Bugs</h2>
     11 <p>One of the easiest and most effective ways you can help improve Android is
     12 to file bugs. For more information, visit the <a
     13 href="{@docRoot}source/report-bugs.html">Reporting Bugs</a> page.</p>
     14 <p>Please note that we can't guarantee that any particular bug will be fixed in
     15 any particular release. To see what happens to your bug once you report it,
     16 read <a href="{@docRoot}source/life-of-a-bug.html">Life of a Bug</a>.</p>

     18 <h2>Develop Apps</h2>
     19 <p>We created Android so that all developers can distribute their applications
     20 to users on an open platform. One of the best ways you can help Android is to
     21 write cool apps that users love!</p>
     22 <p>To get started, visit <a
     23 href="http://developer.android.com/">developer.android.com</a>. This site
     24 provides the information and tools you need to write applications for
     25 compatible Android devices, using the SDK.</p>
     26 
     27 <h2>Contribute to the Code</h2>
     28 <p>Code is King. We'd love to review any changes you submit, so please check
     29 out the source, pick a bug or feature, and get coding. Note that the smaller
     30 and more targetted your patch submissions, the easier it will be for us to
     31 review them.</p>
     32 <p>You can get started with Android by learning about the <a
     33 href="{@docRoot}source/life-of-a-patch.html">Life of a Patch</a>, and by
     34 learning about <code>git</code>, <code>repo</code>, and other tools using the
     35 links to the left. If you need help along the way, you can join our <a
     36 href="{@docRoot}community/index.html">discussion groups.</a></p>
