+description: Documentation on how to get set up for doing development on the Backstage repository
+---
+
+Our vision for Backstage is for it to become the trusted standard toolbox (read: UX layer) for the open source infrastructure landscape. Think of it like Kubernetes for developer experience. We realize this is an ambitious goal. We can’t do it alone.
+
+Therefore we want to create a strong community of contributors -- all working together to create the kind of delightful experience that our developers deserve.
+
+Contributions are welcome, and they are greatly appreciated! Every little bit helps, and credit will always be given. ❤️
+
+To get you started we've put together a [Contributors Guide in the Backstage GitHub repo](https://github.com/backstage/backstage/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) that has all the information you need
