19### Downloads
20As we switched to Gradle, there's no need to download libGDX itself anymore. For those of you who still prefer the old way of doing things, you can get libGDX from the [official download site](http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/download.html).
21
22### Documentation
23The [Wiki](https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki) contains all the information you'll need to write a
24libGDX game. You can contribute to the Wiki directly here on GitHub!
25
26We also provide [Javadocs](http://libgdx.badlogicgames.com/nightlies/docs/api/) online. The Javadocs are
27also bundled as source Jars with every libGDX distribution for consumption in your favorite IDE.

41### Contributing & Working from Source
42libGDX has a strong developer community constantly improving the code base. We love to
43get any and all help we can. The [Contributing](https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Contributing)
44article describes the process of helping libGDX to become even better.
45
46To contribute, you need to work with libGDX' sources directly, something normal users do not
47have to go through. The [Working with the Source](https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/wiki/Running-demos-%26-tests)
48article will give you directions.
