+# How to contribute
+
+Community contributions are essential part of any open source project. The
+community has access to a large number of unique configurations which would
+be extremely difficult for the core maintainers to reproduce. We want to keep 
+it as easy as possible to contribute changes that get things working in your 
+environment. There are a few guidelines that we need contributors to follow 
+so that we can have a chance of keeping on top of things.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+
+* Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free)
+* **Submit an issue** for your issue, assuming one does not already exist. If you have the rights, you should assign yourself to the issue. If you do not have that ability please add a comment noting that a pull request will be submitted for the issue. After review, if the pull request is accepted, we will mark the issue as resolved and assign it to a release so it can be QA'ed.
+  * 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
+
+## Making Changes
+
+* Create a topic branch from where you want to base your work.
+  * This is usually the 'development' branch.
+  * Release branches should only be targeted by official committers.
+  * To quickly create a topic branch based on development; `git checkout -b my_contribution development`
+* Make commits of logical units.
+* Check for unnecessary whitespace with `git diff --check` before committing.
+* Make sure your commit messages are in the proper format
+* For bonus points run and add unit tests
+	* Make sure you have added the necessary tests for your changes.
+	* Run _all_ the tests to assure nothing else was accidentally broken.
+
+
+## Making Trivial Changes
+
+### Documentation
+
+For changes of a trivial nature to comments and documentation, it is not
+always necessary to create a new ticket in the issue tracker. In this case, it is appropriate to start the first line of a commit with '(doc)' instead of
+a ticket number. 
+
+````
+    (doc) Add documentation commit example to CONTRIBUTING
+
+    There is no example for contributing a documentation commit
+    to the DNN repository. This is a problem because the contributor
+    is left to assume how a commit of this nature may appear.
+
+    The first line is a real life imperative statement with '(doc)' in
+    place of what would have been the ticket number in a 
+    non-documentation related commit. The body describes the nature of
+    the new documentation or comments added.
+````
+
+## Submitting Changes
+
+* Sign the [Contributor License Agreement](http://www.dnnsoftware.com).
+* Push your changes to a topic branch in your fork of the repository.
+* Submit a pull request to the DNN.Platform repository in the DNNSoftware organization.
+* The committers will handle updating the associated issue in the DNN Tracker to ensure it gets the necessary code review and QA.
+
+## Acceptance of your Changes
+* We have a group of fellow developers that review pull requests submitted by developers like yourself.
+* If your changes look good, then changes are merged to an appropriate release.
+* We may ask you to make further changes or reject the change (with proper reasonsing - we hope that's not the case though).
+* You should get an email notification as we complete processing of your pull request.
+
+## Downloading latest package with your changes
+* As soon as changes are accepted, our team city build server gets into action.
+* New builds are usually available within 10 minutes of acceptance.
