+# Thank you for contributing!
+
+Read this file carefully before contributing to the project. It's important that everyone follows these rules to ensure smooth contribution.
+
+## General workflow
+
+Since the project is under version 1.0.0, the master branch can be quite unstable, and even unusable. For this reason, I recommend you stick to the published
+releases, unless you intend on helping out with the project.
+
+New features are commited directly to the ``master`` branch, while translations are commited to a special service branch, merged onto ``translate``, tested, and
+merged back to master. Above version 1.0.0, new features should follow the same procedure as translations.
+
+## Before commiting
+
+Before commiting, make sure your code adheres to the Laravel coding guidelines, as well as PSR-4. I'll personally review and merge each PR.
+Thank you for your interest!
+
+
+# Bug reports
+
+As always, bug reports should stick to the bug report template. GitHub makes this easy for you by letting you choose which issue template you'd like to use
+before reporting an isuse. This helps everyone stay in the same page.
+
+Issues published without a template might take longer to be resolved, or may be ignored and marked ``wontfix``.
+
+
+# Licensing
+
+Any contributions you make will be under the GNU GPL v3 license, which is the license that covers this project.
