+# How can I help rusEfi?
+
+The weakest point of rusEfi is documentation. If you've played with rusEfi for any time chances are you have help improve the documentation.
+
+#### How to contribute to https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi_documentation
+
+Step 1: Sign up or sign in to https://github.com
+
+Step 2: Open https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi_documentation and click 'Fork' - this would produce your own fork/copy of rusefi_documentation which you can now edit right in your browser!
+![editor](github_online_editor.png)  
+
+Step 3: Edit your code and Commit changes using the button below the editor.
+
+Step 4: Once you are ready to contribute your changes, hit 'New pull request' button on the main page of your fork.
+
+This would produce a [Pull request like this](https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi_documentation/pull/3) in the official rusefi repository and your changes would probably soon become public!   
+https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/blob/master/firmware/tunerstudio/rusefi.input
+
+
+#### How to contribute to rusEfi TunerStudio project
+
+
+Same as above, fork https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi and edit your local copy of
+https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/blob/master/firmware/tunerstudio/rusefi.input file
+
+https://github.com/rusefi/rusefi/commit/9d9ae5a05499027b32ed76df3e7ee2e2e8240c31 is an example of how more help could be added
+right into TunerStudio project file. Lines with green background are the lines being added.
+
+Unfortunately while you would be modifying your mainController.ini file while trying your changes, you need to edit rusefi.input file which
+is a template from which rusefi.ini is generated programmatically on rusefi side.
+
+
+
+#### Last but not least
+
+Since 2012 until today, this is just a hobby project with zero paid employees. Test PCBs, forum hosting,
+damaged hardware and etc. costs money
+
+There are two ways to help financially: 
+
+One-time or monthly https://tinyurl.com/paypal-rusefi  
+
+One-time or monthly [rusEfi Patreon](https://www.patreon.com/rusefi)
