+Contributing to SounderPy
+-------------------------
+
+Contributions to this library are encouraged! Below are a few simple guidelines to follow if you are considering helping out this package.
+
+- **Tackling open issues on Github** --  feel free to search through unresolved `Github Issues <https://github.com/kylejgillett/sounderpy/issues>`_ and propose a solution!
+- **Contributing your code** -- if you have made local modifications to SounderPy, feel free to suggest adding your changes by opening a `GitHub pull request <https://github.com/kylejgillett/sounderpy/pulls>`_.
+- **Adding an entirely new feature** -- similarly to above, open a `GitHub pull request <https://github.com/kylejgillett/sounderpy/pulls>`_ with the proposed additions.
+- **Creating tutorials** -- So much of the code we write is best understood with comprehensive tutorials. I highly encourage anyone to build tutorials that explain the code, explain a specific use/task, or to simply provide more examples. Do so by opening a `GitHub pull request <https://github.com/kylejgillett/sounderpy/pulls>`_.
+
+
+**To contribute to SounderPy...**
+
+1. In GitHub, fork the SounderPy repository (repo) into your profile.
+2. Pull down the forked repo to your local machine.
+3. After making changes, commit them to your forked repo.
+4. Finally, open a Pull Request.
+
+    - Pull requests, for any contribution, should include a detailed explanation of the code, why it's needed, and what it fixes/replaces.
+    - Ensure that your code is well formatted, clean, commented and easy to read.
+    - **IMPORTANT**: The goal of SounderPy is to make sounding analysis available to everyone -- beginners and experts alike. As such, SounderPy code should be *easy to read*, not just well-documented. In the case of this library, code that is clean and *easy to read* is valued more over code that is "fancy", "too-complex" and harder to read.
