+So You Want to Contribute...
+============================
+
+For general information on contributing to OpenStack, please check out the
+`contributor guide <https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/>`_ to get started.
+It covers all the basics that are common to all OpenStack projects: the accounts
+you need, the basics of interacting with our Gerrit review system, how we
+communicate as a community, etc.
+
+Below will cover the more project specific information you need to get started
+with python-novaclient.
+
+Communication
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Please refer `how-to-get-involved <https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/contributor/how-to-get-involved.html>`_.

+
+The overall structure of the Nova team including python-novaclient is

+If you want to propose a new feature please read the

+on, search for the 'low-hanging-fruit' tag.

+<https://docs.openstack.org/contributors/common/task-tracking.html#launchpad>`_.
+
+Getting Your Patch Merged
