Then, sign the <a href="agreement">Participant Agreement</a>. If you have questions along the way feel free to reach out via <a href="https://whatwg.org/chat">Chat</a> or <a href="https://github.com/whatwg/meta/issues/new">file an issue</a>. The <a href="https://whatwg.org/faq">FAQ</a> might also provide some useful guidance. If you want to contribute a new proposal in the space of WHATWG standards, please see <a href="https://whatwg.org/faq#adding-new-features">this FAQ entry</a> especially. <p>Once you're all set, you can review <a href="https://spec.whatwg.org/">the standards</a> and contribute through GitHub as indicated at the top of each standard. You can also help with the development of tests over at <a href="https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests">web-platform-tests</a>. <p>If you're just getting started on participating in the WHATWG, we encourage you to check out the global <a href="https://github.com/search?q=is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22+user%3Awhatwg&type=Issues">"good first issue"</a> label we use across all of our standards. These are usually refactorings, formatting changes, clarifications, or tightly-scoped bug fixes. They will give you a chance to get used to the tooling and process. <p>(Looking to update your participant agreement? <a href="agreement-update">See these instructions.</a>) <footer> <p><small>Copyright © WHATWG (Apple, Google, Mozilla, Microsoft).
