+Even as a complete beginner, there are several ways you can help.
+
+Tell Us About Documentation Issues
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Let us know if anything's off or hard to follow about this
+documentation.

+* Incorrect or outdated information
+* Odd behavior in styles or UI
+* Broken links

+Play Games made with Arcade
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Arcade users often participate in game jams. Helping them
+is as easy as:
+
+#. Playing their games
+#. Providing feedback via the game jam's comments
+
+That includes reporting bugs on their projects to help them improve.
+
+Create Art, Music, and Sound
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+If you're an artist or a musician, you can build your skills
+through game jams or game asset communities.

-How to contribute without coding
---------------------------------
 
-* **Community** - Post your projects, code, screen-shots, and discuss the Arcade library on the `Python Arcade SubReddit`_.
-* Try coding your own animations and games. Write down notes on anything that
-  is difficult to implement or understand about the library.
-* **Suggest improvements** - Post bugs and enhancement requests at the `Github Issue List`_.
+Don't worry too much about posting duplicates. We can always cross-reference
+issues if it's a duplicate. If you're unsure, you can always ask on `Discord <Arcade Discord>`_.
