+# Contributing
+
+There are several ways to contribute to FlorisBoard. This document provides some
+general guidelines for each type of contribution.
+
+## Adding a new feature or making large changes
+
+If you intend to add a new feature or to make large changes, please discuss this
+first through a proposal on GitHub. Discussing your idea enables both you and me
+that we are on the same page before you start on working on your change. This
+also makes it more likely that your PR gets accepted.
+
+## Adding a new keyboard layout / dictionary for locale
+
+As FlorisBoard is currently in alpha stage, things might change drastically. This
+also includes the config scheme of keyboard layouts. To prevent incompatible
+configs because some features and structures may change, please do not add this
+kind of content yet. As FlorisBoard's state progresses and its core stabilizes,
+you will be able to add keyboard layouts.
+
+## Bug reporting
+
+This kind of contribution is the most important, as it tells where FlorisBoard
+has flaws and thus should be imroved to maximize stability and user experience.
+To make this process as smooth as possible, please use the premade [issue
+template](.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug_report.md) for bug reporting. If you
+submit an bug report which does not follow the template your issue will be
+marked as invalid and be closed.
