+Contributing
+************
+
+Contributing can be highly rewarding, but it can also be frustrating at times.
+It takes time to review patches, and as this is an open source project, that
+sometimes can take a while. The reviewing process depends on the availability
+of the maintainers, who may not be always available. Please try to be
+understanding throught the process.
+
+There a few guidelines you need to keep in mind when contributing. Please have
+a look at them as that will make the contribution process easier for all
+parties.
