+## Contribution Guidelines
+Feel free to put up a pull request to fix a bug or maybe add a feature. I will give it a code review and make sure that it does not break backwards compatibility. If I or any other collaborators agree that it is in line with the vision of the project, we will work with you to get the code into a mergeable state and merge it into the master branch.
+
+If you are have contributed something significant to the project, I will most likely add you as a collaborator, as a collaborator are given the ability to merge others pull requests. It is very important that new code does not break existing code, so be careful about what code you do merge. If you have any questions feel free to link @codegangsta to the issue in question and we can review it together.
+
+If you feel like you have contributed to the project but have not yet been added as a collaborator, I probably forgot to add you. Hit me up over email and we will get it figured out.
