+Getting Help with Astropy
+=========================
+
+The best way to get help is usually by asking questions to the
+Astropy user and development community. There are a number of
+active forums and you are welcome to use whichever one you are the
+most comfortable with.
+
+- `Open Astronomy
+  Discourse <https://community.openastronomy.org/c/astropy/8>`__ -
+  This forum allows questions to be tagged by topic, is searchable
+  on Google, and displays code snippets well. Please head over and
+  ask (and answer) questions.
+- `Astropy Slack workspace <https://astropy.slack.com>`__ (`get an
+  account <http://joinslack.astropy.org>`__) - This forum is
+  primarily focused on developing and maintaining the Astropy
+  project, but the ``#community-help`` channel is a good place for
+  users to seek help from the Astropy community.
+- `Astropy Users Email List
+  [astropy@python.org] <http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/astropy>`__
+  - Post questions or start discussions about anything related to
+  Python programming applied to astronomy.
+- `Astropy Developers Email List
+  [astropy-dev@googlegroups.com] <http://groups.google.com/group/astropy-dev>`__
+  - Start discussions and ask questions about changing or adding
+  functionality to the ``astropy`` package. This is also the place
+  where significant announcements for contributors/developers are
+  usually made. If you would like to participate in discussion
+  about how the Project is run, please join this list.
