+============================
+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 Trove.
+
+Communication
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+.. This would be a good place to put the channel you chat in as a project; when/
+   where your meeting is, the tags you prepend to your ML threads, etc.
+
+- IRC channel: #openstack-trove
+- Mailing list's prefix: [trove]
+- Currently, we don't have team meeting given we have a small group of core
+  reviewers and their timezones, the situation may change in the future.
+
+Contacting the Core Team
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+.. This section should list the core team, their irc nicks, emails, timezones etc. If
+   all this info is maintained elsewhere (i.e. a wiki), you can link to that instead of
+   enumerating everyone here.
+
+The list of current Trove core reviewers is available on `gerrit
+<https://review.opendev.org/#/admin/groups/99,members>`_.
+
+New Feature Planning
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+.. This section is for talking about the process to get a new feature in. Some
+   projects use blueprints, some want specs, some want both! Some projects
+   stick to a strict schedule when selecting what new features will be reviewed
+   for a release.
+
+#. Talk to the team via IRC (meeting) or ML (with [trove] prefix) about
+   the feature requested. We will discuss if a spec is needed based on
+   the implementation complexity and the
+   installation/configuration/upgrade/user-facing impacts.
+#. If a spec is need, a patch needs to be submitted to `trove-specs repo
+   <https://opendev.org/openstack/trove-specs>`_ before the code being
+   reviewed.
+#. Code implementation and review
+
+Task Tracking
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+.. This section is about where you track tasks- launchpad? storyboard? is there more
+   than one launchpad project? what's the name of the project group in storyboard?
+
+We track our tasks in `Storyboard
+<https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/openstack/trove>`_
+
+If you're looking for some smaller, easier work item to pick up and get started
+on, search for the 'low-hanging-fruit' tag.
+
+Reporting a Bug
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+.. Pretty self explanatory section, link directly to where people should report bugs for
+   your project.
+
+You found an issue and want to make sure we are aware of it? You can do so
+on `Storyboard <https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/project/openstack/trove>`_.
+
+Getting Your Patch Merged
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+.. This section should have info about what it takes to get something merged. Do
+   you require one or two +2's before +W? Do some of your repos require unit test
+   changes with all patches? etc.
+
+Due to the small number of core reviewers of the Trove project, we only need
+one +2 before ``Workflow +1``.
+
+Project Team Lead Duties
+------------------------
+.. this section is where you can put PTL specific duties not already listed in
+   the common PTL guide (linked below)  or if you already have them written
+   up elsewhere, you can link to that doc here.
+
+All common PTL duties are enumerated here in the `PTL guide
+<https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/ptl.html>`_.
