+CONTRIBUTING
+------------
+
+If you would like to report a bug please do so through the clsql
+mailing list. http://lists.b9.com/mailman/listinfo/CLSQL
+
+Patches are welcome. It will be much easier for us to incorporate if
+you use [git](http://git-scm.com/). Please keep distinct changes in
+seperate patches as it makes it much easier to review. If you have
+something small to to send to the mailing list `git format-patch` is
+your friend.
+
+If you have a bigger set of patches then I recommend creating a fork
+on github from https://github.com/UnwashedMeme/clsql. Once your
+patches are available there either issue a pull request or let us know
+about it on the mailing list.
+
+* http://help.github.com/ has some excellent tutorials on getting
+  started.
+* http://git-scm.com/book is an excellent in depth tutorial on how to
+  use git effectively.
