-# wiki-genetics
-Wiki to gather and build knowledge about best practices for genetic analyses.
+### Welcome to the iPSYCH community wiki!
+
+This is wiki aims at gathering and building knowledge about best practices for genetic analyses, particularly of the iPSYCH data.
+
+Learn more about iPSYCH there: https://ipsych.dk/en/.
+
+Remember that this is a public space, make sure not to disclose any information that would breach ethics approvals of the data.
+
+### How to contribute?
+
+- Small (but useful!) contibutions: 
+
+    - **opening an issue about some missing/unclear information**; whenever you have to search for some question or someone ask you a question about genetic analyses or/and iPSYCH data, please open an issue here to document that this piece of information is missing to this wiki
+
+    - **participating in topic discussions** (in issues), e.g. mentioning missing information, useful references or external links
+
+    - **clarifying a point in a wiki page** by adding a few sentences
+
+    - **correcting typos**
+
+- Larger contributions: 
+
+    - **making wiki pages**
+
+    - **reviewing wiki pages** (including code), by someone who is *not* expert in the corresponding topic
+
+
+### Guidelines
+
+- be nice with others and welcoming to new contributors
+
+- always open a new issue when you think about missing information (it does *not* have to be you that add )
+
+- each page should have is own corresponding issue
+
+- split the issues and pages as much as possible, e.g. making a GWAS using PLINK and making a GWAS using BOLT are two different issues pages
+
+- for complex analyses (all main ones basically), it would be good to work within teams (of e.g. two people)
