----------------------
-NumPy appreciates help from a wide range of different backgrounds.
-Work such as high level documentation or website improvements are valuable
-and we would like to grow our team with people filling these roles.
-Small improvements or fixes are always appreciated and issues labeled as easy
-may be a good starting point.
-If you are considering larger contributions outside the traditional coding work,
-please contact us through the mailing list.
+The NumPy project welcomes your expertise and enthusiasm!
+
+Small improvements or fixes are always appreciated; issues labeled as "good
+first issue" may be a good starting point. If you are considering larger
+contributions to the source code, please contact us through the [mailing
+list](https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion) first.
+
+Writing code isn’t the only way to contribute to NumPy. You can also:
+- review pull requests
+- triage issues
+- develop tutorials, presentations, and other educational materials
+- maintain and improve [our website](https://github.com/numpy/numpy.org)
+- develop graphic design for our brand assets and promotional materials
+- translate website content
+- help with outreach and onboard new contributors

+
+If you’re unsure where to start or how your skills fit in, reach out! You can
+ask on the mailing list or here, on GitHub, by opening a new issue or leaving a
+comment on a relevant issue that is already open.
+
+Our preferred channels of communication are all public, but if you’d like to
+speak to us in private first, contact our community coordinators at
+numpy-team@googlegroups.com or on Slack (write numpy-team@googlegroups.com for
+an invite).
+
+We also have a biweekly community call, details of which are announced on the
+mailing list. You are very welcome to join.
