-## How Can I Help?
-
-Documentation (like the text you are reading now) can
-always use improvement!
-
-Each [kubernetes project](http://git.k8s.io) subrepository (including this one!) has issues that are labeled "help-wanted", "good first issue" or similar that should not need deep knowledge of the system. For example, here are [help wanted] issues for the main Kubernetes repository.
-
-To dig deeper, read a design doc, e.g. [architecture].
-
-[Pick a SIG](sig-list.md), peruse its associated [cmd] directory,
-find a `main()` and read code until you find something you want to fix.
