+<h2>How you can Help</h2>
+<p><b>You like rsyslog and would like to lend us a helping hand?</b> This page
+tells you how easy it is to help a little bit. You can contribute to the project
+even with a single mouse click! If you could pick a single item from the
+wish list, that would be awfully helpful!</p>
+<p>This is our wish list:</p>
+<ul>
+ <li>let others know how great rsyslog is<ul>
+ <li>spread word about rsyslog in forums and newsgroups</li>
+ <li>place a link to <a href="http://www.rsyslog.com">www.rsyslog.com</a>
+ from your home page</li>
+ <li>you may also want to tell others about the
+ <a href="http://loganalyzer.adiscon.com">log analyzer tool
+ created by the same folks as rsyslog</a> - at least, if you like it ;)
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>let us know about rsyslog - we are eager for feedback<ul>
+ <li>tell us what you like and what you not like - so that we can include
+ that into development</li>
+ <li>tell us what you use rsyslog for - especially if you have high
+ traffic volume or an otherwise &quot;uncommon&quot; deployment. We are looking for
+ case studies and experience how rsyslog performs in unusual scenarios.</li>
+ <li>allow us to post your thoughts and experiences as a &quot;user story&quot; on
+ the web site (so far, none are there ;))</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>if you know how to create packages (rpm, deb, ...)<ul>
+ <li>we would very much appreciate your help with package creation. We know
+ that it is important to have good binary packages for a product to
+ spread widely. Yet, we do not have the knowledge to do it all ourselves.
+ <a href="mailto:rgerhards@adiscon.com">Drop Rainer a note </a>if you
+ could help us out.</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+ <li>if you have configured a device for sending syslog data, and that device
+ is not in our
+ <a href="http://www.monitorware.com/en/syslog-enabled-products/">syslog
+ configuration database</a>, you might want to tell us how to configure it.</li>
+ <li>if you are a corporate user<ul>
+ <li>you might consider <a href="http://www.adiscon.com">Adiscon</a>'s
+ commercial <a href="http://www.monitorware.com/">MonitorWare products</a>
+ for Windows, e.g. to deliver Windows Event Log data to rsyslogd (sales
+ of the commercial products funds the open source development - and they
+ also work very well).</li>
+ <li>you might be interested in
+ <a href="http://www.adiscon.com/Common/en/Products/techsup.php">
+ purchasing professional support or add-on development</a> for rsyslog</li>
+ </ul>
+ </li>
+</ul>
+<p><b>We appreciate your help very much.</b> A big thank you for anything you
+might do!</p>
