+## Contributing
+
+- Whenever possible, one commit per feature.
+- If feature/pull-request branches have only one developer, please regularly
+  rebase them onto master until they are merged in.
+- Don't merge branches with meaningless commit messages; always squash them
+  instead.
+- Wait for discussion of big changes. Your branches will still be here
+  tomorrow.
