 Ready to dive in? Following is more specific information on how to contribute to specific aspects of the framework. 
 
+#### Contributing to the Core
+To contribute to the inner workings of the frameworks, a basic familiarity with the framework and the technologies used is required. The type of technical knowledge required varies greatly depending on what aspect of the system you want to modify. It is always a good idea to ask in [Slack][slack] for pointers and make sure the proposed changes are inline with current practices and future developments.

+   + web app development (MVC, HTML, HTTP, Javascript)
+   + the [Scala programming language](https://www.scala-lang.org/)
+   + [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/) if you will be modifying what is stored in the database
+   + If you will be working with the extraction bus, basic knowledge of [RabbitMQ](https://www.rabbitmq.com/) is required
+   + For text search functionality, we use [ElasticSearch](https://www.elastic.co/elasticsearch/)
