+# How to contribute #
+
+We'd love to accept your patches and contributions to this project.  There are
+a just a few small guidelines you need to follow.
+
+
+## Contributor License Agreement ##
+
+Contributions to any Google project must be accompanied by a Contributor
+License Agreement.  This is not a copyright **assignment**, it simply gives
+Google permission to use and redistribute your contributions as part of the
+project.
+
+  * If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you
+    own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an [individual
+    CLA][].
+
+  * If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work,
+    then you'll need to sign a [corporate CLA][].
+
+You generally only need to submit a CLA once, so if you've already submitted
+one (even if it was for a different project), you probably don't need to do it
+again.
+
+[individual CLA]: https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual
+[corporate CLA]: https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/corporate
+
+Once your CLA is submitted (or if you already submitted one for
+another Google project), make a commit adding yourself to the
+[AUTHORS][] and [CONTRIBUTORS][] files. This commit can be part
+of your first [pull request][].
+
+[AUTHORS]: AUTHORS
+[CONTRIBUTORS]: CONTRIBUTORS
+
+
+## Submitting a patch ##
+
+  1. It's generally best to start by opening a new issue describing the bug or
+     feature you're intending to fix.  Even if you think it's relatively minor,
+     it's helpful to know what people are working on.  Mention in the initial
+     issue that you are planning to work on that bug or feature so that it can
+     be assigned to you.
+
+  1. Follow the normal process of [forking][] the project, and setup a new
+     branch to work in.  It's important that each group of changes be done in
+     separate branches in order to ensure that a pull request only includes the
+     commits related to that bug or feature.
+
+  1. Do your best to have [well-formed commit messages][] for each change.
+     This provides consistency throughout the project, and ensures that commit
+     messages are able to be formatted properly by various git tools.
+
+  1. Finally, push the commits to your fork and submit a [pull request][].
