+# Contributing to Lo-Dash
+
+If you'd like to contribute a feature or bug fix, you can [fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo) Lo-Dash, commit your changes, and [send a pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests). Please make sure to [search the issue tracker](https://github.com/bestiejs/lodash/issues) first; your issue may have already been discussed or fixed in `master`.
+
+## Tests
+
+Please make sure to update the unit tests in the `test` directory as part of your pull request. You can run the tests from the command line via `npm test`, or open `test/index.html` in a web browser. The `test/run-test.sh` script attempts to run the tests in [Rhino](http://www.mozilla.org/rhino/), [RingoJS](http://ringojs.org/), [Narwhal](https://github.com/280north/narwhal), and Node, before starting your default browser. The [Backbone](http://backbonejs.org/) and Underscore test suites are included as well.
+
+We also use [Travis](https://travis-ci.org/bestiejs/lodash) for continuous integration.

+
+## Coding Guidelines
+
+In addition to the following guidelines, please follow the conventions already established in the code.
+
+- **Spacing**: Use two spaces for indentation. No tabs.
+- **Naming**: Keep variable and method names concise and descriptive. `index`, `collection`, and `callback` are preferable to `i`, `arr`, and `fn`.
+- **Quotes**: Single-quoted strings are preferred to double-quoted strings; however, please use a double-quoted string if the value contains a single-quote character to avoid unnecessary escaping.
+- **Comments**: Please use single-line comments to annotate significant additions, and [JSDoc-style](http://www.2ality.com/2011/08/jsdoc-intro.html) comments for new methods. We use [Docdown](https://github.com/jdalton/docdown) to generate our documentation.
