+# Contributing to OSRD
+
+All contributions, bug reports, bug fixes, documentation improvements,
+enhancements, and ideas are welcome.
+
+Check out our community's [Code of Conduct](https://github.com/OpenRailAssociation/osrd/blob/dev/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
+and feel free to say hi on our [#public-general:osrd.fr](https://matrix.to/#/#public-general:osrd.fr)
+matrix channel if you'd like. It's a nice place to chat about OSRD development,
+ask questions, and get to know the other contributors and users in a less formal
+setting.
+
+## Getting oriented
+
+The OSRD project has 2 primary repos:
+
+1. [`osrd`](https://github.com/OpenRailAssociation/osrd): This is where the
+simulator is developed.
+2. [`osrd-website`](https://github.com/OpenRailAssociation/osrd-website): Where
+the [`official website`](https://osrd.fr), blog, documentation, ... are hosted.
+
+This is the website repo. For more info on the project or to contribute to the
+project itself checkout the [Contributing](https://github.com/OpenRailAssociation/osrd/blob/dev/CONTRIBUTING.md)
+file of the main repo.
+
