+What should I know before I get started?
+########################################
+
+The more you know about Linux and contributing to upstream projects, the better, but this knowledge isn't strictly required. Simply
+reading about contributing to Linux and upstream projects can help build your vocabulary in a meaningful way to help out. Learn about
+the skills required for Linux contributions in the :ref:`beagleboard-linux-upstream` section.
+
+The most useful thing to know is how to ask smart questions. Read about this in the :ref:`intro-getting-support` section. If you ask
+smart questions on the issue trackers and forum, you'll be doing a lot to help us improve the designs and documentation.
