	<p>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.</p>

	<ul>
		<li><a href="https://community.openastronomy.org/c/astropy/8" title="">Open Astronomy Discourse</a> - 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.</li>

		<li> <a href="https://astropy.slack.com">Astropy Slack workspace</a> (<a
            href="http://joinslack.astropy.org">get an account</a>) - This forum is primarily
        focused on developing and maintaining the Astropy project, but the
        <code>#community-help</code> channel is a good place for users to seek help from the
        Astropy community. </li>

		<li><a href="http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/astropy">Astropy Users Email
		List [astropy@python.org]</a> - Post questions or start discussions about anything related to
		Python programming applied to astronomy.</li>

		<li> <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/astropy-dev">Astropy Developers Email
		List [astropy-dev@googlegroups.com]</a> - Start discussions and ask questions about changing or adding
			 functionality to the <code>astropy</code> 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.
		</li>
