+# Contributing Quick Start
+
+Rust Analyzer is just a usual rust project, which is organized as a Cargo
+workspace, builds on stable and doesn't depend on C libraries. So, just
+
+```
+$ cargo test
+```
+
+should be enough to get you started!
+
+To learn more about how rust-analyzer works, see
+[./architecture.md](./architecture.md) document.
+
+Various organizational and process issues are discussed here.
+
