+# Contributing to imag
+
+Prerequisites:
+
+* cargo and rust compiler in current version (stable)
+
+In particular, we seek the following types of contributions:
+
+* Ideas: What is a PIM module you want to see implemented or (even better) could
+  you implement yourself?
+* Testing: Feel free to test `imag`. Note that we have no release yet.
+* Documentation: We want to have 100% documentation coverage. If you find
+  something undocumented or wrongly documented, don't hesitate to fix it and
+  send a PR!
+
+# Commit guidelines, PR guidelines:
+
+Please don't refer to issues or PRs from inside a commit message, if possible.
+Make sure your PR does not contain "Fixup" commits when publishing it, but feel
+free to push "Fixup" commits in the review process. We will ask you to clean
+your history before merging!
+
+Make sure to prefix your commits with `"doc: "` if you change the document. Do
+not change document and code in one commit, always seperate them.
