The document discusses various ways that individuals can contribute to the Eclipse ecosystem, including helping on forums, submitting bug reports and enhancement requests, improving documentation on Eclipsedia, sharing knowledge on Planet Eclipse, beta testing milestones, translating content on Babel, contributing code after signing a Contributor License Agreement, and eventually becoming a committer with full write access. The Eclipse ecosystem consists of around 70 independent projects with over 400 active individual and company committers developing for millions of users, overseen by the Eclipse Foundation.
