+Contributing
+============
+
+All projects under the Pylons Projects, including this one, follow the guidelines established at [How to Contribute](https://pylonsproject.org/community-how-to-contribute.html) and [Coding Style and Standards](https://pylonsproject.org/community-coding-style-standards.html).
+
+
+Get support
+-----------
+
+See [Get Support](https://pylonsproject.org/community-support.html). You are reading this document most likely because you want to *contribute* to the project and not *get support*.
+
+
+Working on issues
+-----------------
+
+To respect both your time and ours, we emphasize the following points.
+
+* We use the [Issue Tracker on GitHub](https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/issues) to discuss bugs, improvements, and feature requests. Search through existing issues before reporting a new one. Issues may be complex or wide-ranging. A discussion up front sets us all on the best path forward.
+* Minor issues—such as spelling, grammar, and syntax—don't require discussion and a pull request is sufficient.
+* After discussing the issue with maintainers and agreeing on a resolution, submit a pull request of your work. [GitHub Flow](https://guides.github.com/introduction/flow/index.html) describes the workflow process and why it's a good practice.
+
+
+Git branches
+------------
+
+There is a single branch [master](https://github.com/Pylons/waitress/) on which development takes place and from which releases to PyPI are tagged. This is the default branch on GitHub.
+
+
+Running tests and building documentation
+----------------------------------------
+
+We use [tox](https://tox.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) to automate test running, coverage, and building documentation across all supported Python versions.
+
+To run everything configured in the `tox.ini` file:
+
+ $ tox
+
+To run tests on Python 2 and 3, and ensure full coverage, but exclude building of docs:
+
+ $ tox -e py2-cover,py3-cover,coverage
+
+To build the docs only:
+
+ $ tox -e docs
+
+See the `tox.ini` file for details.
+
+
+Contributing documentation
+--------------------------
+
+*Note:* These instructions might not work for Windows users. Suggestions to improve the process for Windows users are welcome by submitting an issue or a pull request.
+
+1. Fork the repo on GitHub by clicking the [Fork] button.
+2. Clone your fork into a workspace on your local machine.
+
+ cd ~/projects
+ git clone git@github.com:<username>/waitress.git
+
+3. Add a git remote "upstream" for the cloned fork.
+
+ git remote add upstream git@github.com:Pylons/waitress.git
+
+4. Set an environment variable to your virtual environment.
+
+ # Mac and Linux
+ $ export VENV=~/projects/waitress/env
+
+ # Windows
+ set VENV=c:\projects\waitress\env
+
+5. Try to build the docs in your workspace.
+
+ # Mac and Linux
+ $ make clean html SPHINXBUILD=$VENV/bin/sphinx-build
+
+ # Windows
+ c:\> make clean html SPHINXBUILD=%VENV%\bin\sphinx-build
+
+ If successful, then you can make changes to the documentation. You can load the built documentation in the `/_build/html/` directory in a web browser.
+
+6. From this point forward, follow the typical [git workflow](https://help.github.com/articles/what-is-a-good-git-workflow/). Start by pulling from the upstream to get the most current changes.
+
+ git pull upstream master
+
+7. Make a branch, make changes to the docs, and rebuild them as indicated in step 5. To speed up the build process, you can omit `clean` from the above command to rebuild only those pages that depend on the files you have changed.
+
+8. Once you are satisfied with your changes and the documentation builds successfully without errors or warnings, then git commit and push them to your "origin" repository on GitHub.
+
+ git commit -m "commit message"
+ git push -u origin --all # first time only, subsequent can be just 'git push'.
+
+9. Create a [pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/).
+
+10. Repeat the process starting from Step 6.
