# Publishing Community Group
The Publishing Community Group is open to anyone. [W3C Membership](https://www.w3.org/community/about/faq/#is-w3c-membership-required-to-participate-in-a-community-or-business-group) is not required to join a Community Group. In order to [join the group](https://www.w3.org/community/publishingcg/join), you will need a [W3C account](https://www.w3.org/accounts/request).
The Publishing Community Group is the incubator community for [Publishing@W3C](https://www.w3.org/publishing/).
The goal of the group is to propose, document, and prototype features broadly related to
- publications on the Web,
- reading modes and systems,
- the user experience of digital publications.
## Webpages

## Ways to Contribute
- [Join the CG](https://www.w3.org/community/wp-login.php?redirect_to=%2Fcommunity%2Fpublishingcg%2Fjoin) and participate in group calls.
- Join the discussion around your [issues of interest](https://github.com/w3c/publishingcg/issues).
- File new issues and rally the community around them. The more interest around an issue, the more likely it is to thrive.
- Not sure if an issue belongs here? File it anyway, and the community can help you identify the proper channel.
- Contribute to documentation and prototypes as well as you can. Members are encouraged to contribute with their own expertise.
- Help identify overlapping communities that could benefit from our work, or help mature ideas graduate into dedicated communities, such as W3C working groups.
Use the standard fork, branch, and pull request workflow to propose changes to group documents. Make branch names informatively, including the related issue number, for example. If you need help with git, see [W3C on GitHub](https://w3c.github.io/). Chairs are happy to help you get started.
Editorial changes that improve the readability or correct spelling or grammatical mistakes are welcome.
Please read [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md), about licensing contributions.
