+Contributing to UserAle.pyqt5
+-----------------------------
+
+Thank you for contributing to the UserAle project!
+
+There are certain procedures that must be followed for all contributions. These
+procedures are necessary to allow us to allocate resources for reviewing and
+testing your contribution, as well as communicate effectively with you during
+the review process.
+
+1) Create an issue in our JIRA
+
+ All changes to UserAle must have corresponding issues in JIRA so the
+ change can be properly tracked:
+
+ https://github.com/draperlaboratory/userale.pyqt5/issues
+
+ If you do not already have an account on GitHub, you will need to create
+ before creating your new issue.
+
+2) Make and test your changes locally
+
+ The UserAle source is maintained in a git repository hosted on GitHub:
+
+ https://github.com/draperlaboratory/userale.pyqt5
+
+ To make your changes, fork the repository and make commits
+ to a topic branch in your fork. Commits should be made in logical units
+ and must reference the Git issue number:
+
+ ::
+
+ $ git commit -m "UserAle-123: High-level message describing the changes."
+
+ Avoid commits which cover multiple, distinct goals that could (and should)
+ be handled separately.
+
+ If you do not already have an account on GitHub, you will need to create
+ one before making your changes.
+
+3) Submit your changes via a pull request on GitHub
+
+ Once your changes are ready, submit them by creating a pull request for
+ the corresponding topic branch you created when you began working on your
+ changes.
+
+ The UserAle team will then review your changes and, if they pass review,
+ your changes will be merged.
