## Help Us Build an Amazing Toolset

The types of commands we are looking for simplify whole tasks. As Microsoft continues its work on the [PowerShell module for SQL Server](http://sqlps.io/2016), we'll be here building commands for [DBA Best Practices](https://dbatools.io/Expand-SqlTlogResponsibly/) and [common painful tasks](https://dbatools.io/Reset-SqlAdmin).

## Benefits

* Help your fellow DBAs and yourself
* Build your resume
* Be an all-star DBA

## Ready to Join?

If you're ready to join, that's awesome! First email me (clemaire@gmail.com) or [join the Slack channel](https://dbatools.io/slack) to see if your proposed command is a good fit for the toolset.

We'll be working closely together and the team will help you with style and technique if you're newer to PowerShell.

## Finally

Finally, [read the style guidelines](https://dbatools.io/join-us/guidelines/) and [setup git](https://dbatools.io/join-us/github). Don't worry, we're still learning, too 😉
