What's the best way to contribute to SS14 if you aren't a coder?

[Swirl-droid]

I'm really new to the SS14 and Github community. I'm just wondering what the best ways for someone like me to contribute to this project.

Let me try to sum up everything that comes to mind:

First and foremost, please ask for support in the #howdoicode-channel in our discord. We are happy for every contribution and want you to learn. (most of our maintainers started off at scratch too, believe me) There are no dumb questions!

Adding YAML-Prototypes

YAML is somewhat easier than coding since you are only declearing stuff and not actively coding logic. Let me explain:
YAML-Prototypes are static definitions and are used for virtually any content we have. That includes: orders for the cargo-console, technologies for r&d, items, mobs, etc, you get the idea
To get started with this, read the yaml guide.
After reading the yaml-guide, you can try to create your first item.

Writing wiki articles

This goes for basically anything. Came to mind since @TimrodDX recently wrote a neat guide on how to set up the AME. This of course requires you have played the game.

Last but not least, since i think it should be mentioned anyway:

Code!

Dont know C#? We created a page for that: https://hackmd.io/_8TFYXDLQMm-63DjpmIRDQ
You know C# but want to learn about Robust? We have a page for that too: https://hackmd.io/x2JdZV8pS2W7b-pM2bsstA
Additionally, we have a book hosted at hackmd(very very wip) aimed to help new contributors get their bearings with robusttoolbox (our engine).
