+# How to Contribute
+
+Help with mod_perl is always welcome. You do not have to know any code
+to help out - we also need help testing, answering questions, improving
+documentation, etc.
+
+
+## Issues
+
+Bugs and problems can be reported at:
+
+https://rt.cpan.org/Dist/Display.html?Name=mod_perl
+
+which can be accessed from the "Issues" link in the left-hand menu on
+the metacpan.org page, https://metacpan.org/pod/mod_perl2 .
+
+(Note: You will need to log in to https://rt.cpan.org in order to get
+the "Report a new bug" button on the bug tracker page.)
+
+
+### Discussions
+
+There is a low-volume mailing list for mod_perl users and developers to
+share ideas, solve problems and discuss things related to mod_perl and
+the Apache::* modules.
+
+Send an email to <modperl@perl.apache.org>. Before doing so, you should
+subscribe by sending an email to <modperl-subscribe@perl.apache.org>.
+Send an email to <modperl-unsubscribe@perl.apache.org> to unsubscribe.
+
+There is also a low-volume mailing list for discussions about the
+development of the core mod_perl.
+
+Send an email to <dev@perl.apache.org>. Before doing so, you should
+subscribe by sending an email to <dev-subscribe@perl.apache.org>.
+Send an email to <dev-unsubscribe@perl.apache.org> to unsubscribe.
+
+
+## Testing
+
+You can help by testing mod_perl as widely as possible. Running the
+tests on a wide variety of platforms, Apache httpd versions, Perl
+versions and other factors is a great help in uncovering problems and
+improving mod_perl.
+
+
+## Code development
+
+Development happens in a Subversion repo. The canonical location is
+currently at:
+
+https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/
+
+The current mod_perl 2.0 development branch is at modperl/trunk under
+the above URL.
+
+Create your own copy of that branch by running:
+
+svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/perl/modperl/trunk/ mod_perl2
