+Helping With Development
+========================
+
+Are you looking to get involved with helping develop the plugin? We welcome pull requests! To get started:
+
+* Start by forking this repository to your GitHub space
+* Create a development copy of your WordPress site; please, do NOT develop against your production site or data!
+* Delete the plugin from your development WordPress site.
+* Clone the repository into your `wp-content/plugins` folder with the following commands (substituting your local path):
+
+```
+cd /var/www/wordpress-dev/wp-content/plugins
+git clone https://github.com/YourGitHubUsername/plugin 12-step-meeting-list
+cd 12-step-meeting-list
+```
+
+* Add an upstream feed, so you can pull in changes from the root repository:
+
+```
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/meeting-guide/plugin.git
+````
+
+* You should update your copy from the upstream repository frequently, especially before starting work on a new feature or issuing a pull request. Here is how:
+
+```
+git fetch --all
+git checkout master
+git merge upstream/master
+```
+
+* To create a new feature, first update your copy from the upstream repository, then from the master branch:
+
+```
+git checkout -b my-new-feature
+```
+
+* Make all of your changes, get it working, test, test, test...
+
+```
+git commit -am"These is my wonderful new feature!"
+git push origin my-new-feature
+```
+
+* Last, issue a pull request (PR) to the root repository to be merged.
+    * In your browser, go to: https://github.com/meeting-guide/plugin
+    * Click the "New pull request" button
+    * Click "Compare across forks"
+    * Under the drop down, make the "Head fork" your copy of the repository, and under the "compare" drop down, select "my-new-feature"
+    * Check the diff provided and make sure everything looks good, then open the Pull Request.
