> We should add best practices around [when to start an Initiative](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/what-does-and-does-not-count-as-an-initiative/463) or how to contribute to [current Initiatives](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/c/the-credsperiment/initiatives/16).

A few general notes:

- First check the list of [current Initiatives](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/c/the-credsperiment/initiatives/16). If the thing you want to do/create can be a contribution to a current Initiative, then add it to that Initiative’s contributions. If there aren’t any Initiatives that represent the thing you want to do, then create a new one.
- If you’re contributing to an Initiative, as the [Champion](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/t/about-champions-and-heroes/291) (DRIs for that Initiative) how to contribute.
