+## How can I contribute?
+
+### Reporting Bugs
+
+When creating a new bug report, please make sure to:
+
+- Search for existing issues first. If you find a previous report of your issue, please update the existing issue with additional information instead of creating a new one.
+- If you still decide to open an issue, please review the template and guidelines and include as much details as possible.
+
+### Suggesting Enhancements / Feature Requests
+
+If you would like to suggest an enhancement or ask for a new feature:
+
+- Please check [the forum](https://feedback.doit-intl.com/forums/933776-grafana-bigquery-plugin) for existing threads about what you want to suggest/ask. If there is, feel free to upvote it to signal interest or add your comments.
+- If there is no open thread, you're welcome to start one to have a discussion about what you want to suggest. Try to provide as much details and context as possible and include information about *the problem you want to solve* rather only *your proposed solution*.
+
+### Pull Requests
+
+- **Code contributions are welcomed**. For big changes or significant features, it's usually better to reach out first and discuss what you want to implement and how (we recommend reading: [Pull Request First](https://medium.com/practical-blend/pull-request-first-f6bb667a9b6#.ozlqxvj36)). This to make sure that what you want to implement is aligned with our goals for the project and that no one else is already working on it.
+- Include screenshots and animated GIFs in your pull request whenever possible.
+- Please add [documentation](#documentation) for new features or changes in functionality along with the code.
+- Please follow existing code style:
+  - Python: we use [Black](https://github.com/psf/black) to auto format the code.
+  - Javascript: we use [Prettier](https://github.com/prettier/prettier) to auto-format the code.
+
