+# How to Contribute
+
+We love Pull Requests! Your contributions help make Nocto great.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+So you want to contribute to Nocto. Great! Contributions take many forms from 
+submitting issues, writing docs, to making code changes. We welcome it all.
+
+But first things first...
+
+* Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free)
+* Submit a ticket for your issue, assuming one does not already exist.
+  * Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce when it is a bug.
+  * Make sure you fill in the earliest version that you know has the issue.
+* Fork the repository on GitHub by clicking on the "Clone in Windows" button or 
+run the following command in a git shell.
+```
+git clone [email protected]:github/Nocto.git
+```
+* Make sure the project builds and all tests pass on your machine by running 
+the `build.cmd` script (this calls a PowerShell script, `Build-Solution.ps1`).
+
+## Making Changes
+
+* Create a topic branch off master (don't work directly on master).
+* Make commits of logical units.
+* Provide descriptive commit messages in the proper format (GitHub for Windows 
+  helps get the format correct).
+* Make sure you have added the necessary tests for your changes.
+* Run _all_ the tests to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.
+
+## Submitting Changes
+
+* Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
+* Submit a pull request. Note what issue/issues your patch fixes.
+
+Some things that will increase the chance that your pull request is accepted.
+
+* Follow existing code conventions. Most of what we do follows standard .NET
+  conventions except in a few places. We include a ReSharper team settings file.
+* Include unit tests that would otherwise fail without your code, but pass with 
+  it.
+* Update the documentation, the surrounding one, examples elsewhere, guides, 
+  whatever is affected by your contribution
+
+
+# Additional Resources
