# 🚧 Silk.NET 3.0 is coming... 🚧
We are currently hard at work on Silk.NET 3.0 - the latest and greatest Silk.NET, laser-focused on addressing pain points and reimagining how C# bindings libraries can be done.
Because of this, Silk.NET 2.X investment is currently limited by the Silk.NET team, who consist entirely of volunteers working in their free time. Silk.NET 2.X updates are now released ad-hoc when development effort is justified and available.
**If you're reading this and would like to step up to keep Silk.NET 2.X going, be that as a contributor or a maintainer, please do not hesitate to reach out to the Silk.NET team in our official Discord server!**

Please don't wait until you're done to open a PR! 1. [Fork Silk.NET](https://github.com/dotnet/Silk.NET/fork) 2. Add an empty commit to a new branch to start your work off: `git commit --allow-empty -m "start of [thing you're working on]"` 3. Once you've pushed a commit, open a [**draft pull request**](https://github.blog/2019-02-14-introducing-draft-pull-requests/). Do this **before** you actually start working. 4. Make your commits in small, incremental steps with clear descriptions. 5. Tag a maintainer when you're done and ask for a review! The Silk.NET solution is **very large**.
