## Out-of-tree Contributions
There are a number of other ways to contribute to Rust that don't deal with
rust-lang/rust.
rust-lang/rust:
Answer questions in the _Get Help!_ channels from the [Rust Discord
server][rust-discord], on [users.rust-lang.org][users], or on
[StackOverflow][so].
Participate in the [RFC process](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs).
Find a [requested community library][community-library], build it, and publish
it to [Crates.io](http://crates.io). Easier said than done, but very, very
valuable!

* For [@bors], [this cheat sheet][cheatsheet] is helpful
* **Google!** is always helpful when programming :)
* [Search Rust documentation][stddocs] to find types, traits, etc. quickly.
You can also search by type signature! For example, searching for
`* -> vec` should find all functions that return a `Vec<T>`. _Hint:_ Find
more tips and keyboard shortcuts by typing `?` on any Rustdoc page!
* Google is always helpful when programming.
You can [search all Rust documentation][gsearchdocs] (the standard library,
the compiler, the books, the references, and the guides) to quickly find
information about the language and compiler.
* You can also use Rustdoc's built-in search feature to find documentation on
types and functions within the crates you're looking at. You can also search
by type signature! For example, searching for `* -> vec` should find all
functions that return a `Vec<T>`.
