# About
-Answer helps you to build a community between your users and your team.
-It's a place where you can share your knowledge and help your users to solve
their problems.
+As a Q&A platform software, we are committed to creating great product that
let more people experience the fun and efficiency of Q&A communities, unleash
the collective wisdom. As an open-source project, we also hope to embrace the
Apache way, and attract more partners sharing the same goals to join our
community. Let's build an inclusive and thriving open-source community together.
+
+## Roles
+
+Apache Answer aligns with the Apache Way. Based on community philosophy of
Apache Foundation, our community has the following roles: users, contributors,
committers, and PMCs.
+
+### Users
+
+For Apache Answer users, you can share and communicate with other users in the
[community](/community). If you need help, you can refer to our
[documentations](/docs) and pick the one that works for you. We encourage
everyone to help each other, so when you have an answer to a question while
searching, please don't hesitate to respond. We also welcome more users to join
our contributor family.
+
+### Contributor
+
+Becoming a contributor means you are interested in and contribute to the
project, not just code. In Answer, there are ways of contribution, and you can
find out more [here](/community/contributing). As long as you contribute to the
Answer project, you are a recognized Answer Contributor. If you become a
valuable contributor to the project, the Project Management Committee (PMC) may
invite you to become a Committer.
+
+### Committer
+
+Committers have read-write access to the code repository, have signed the
Contributor License Agreement (CLA), and have an email address at
`@apache.org`. They can directly patch the code or documentation, and the
Project Management Committee (PMC) will generally approve these changes by
default, or reject them. Of course, the final decision is made by the PMC, not
the committer individually.
+
+There's no set timeline or specific code contribution requirement to become a
committer, long-term active contributors are typically considered strong
candidates. The Apache Software Foundation embraces diverse contributions, so
anyone who supports the community and is following the CoPDoC (Contributing to
Apache Projects by Doing the Right Thing) is a potential candidate for
committership.
+
+As a committer, you'll play a crucial role in shaping the project's future.
You'll review and merge code changes, test and vote on release candidates,
engage in product discussions, and continue to contribute in various ways. If a
committer is active and has made significant contributions to the community,
they may be invited to join the Project Management Committee (PMC).
+
+### PMC (Project Management Committee)
+
+A project management committee (PMC) is a committee of the Apache Software
Foundation charged with [responsibility and
governance](https://www.apache.org/foundation/governance/pmcs.html) for their
top level project. The PMC is the vehicle through which decision-making power
and responsibility for oversight devolves to developers.
+
+While committers on a project have the ability to update the code, only the
PMC as a body has the authority to vote on formal releases of the project's
software. The PMC is also responsible for voting in new committers and PMC
members to the project, and following other policies as outlined in this
[document](https://www.apache.org/dev/pmc.html#policy).
