# Build
CiviCRM is an open-source application which can be poked, prodded, twisted,
and hacked. It can be customized (with minimal code skills), extended (for
add-ons and integrations), and collaboratively developed.
# Collaborate
As an open-source project, CiviCRM is managed by an international community
of developers and activists. If you have questions, issues, or want to make
plans for new development, reach out online.
