+Contributing
+============
+
+If you're looking to contribute to Channels, then please read on - we encourage
+contributions both large and small, from both novice and seasoned developers.
+
+
+What can I work on?
+-------------------
+
+We're looking for help with the following areas:
+
+ * Documentation and tutorial writing
+ * Bugfixing and testing
+ * Feature polish and occasional new feature design
+ * Case studies and writeups
+
+You can find a particular list of what we're looking to work on right now
+on the `ChannelsTasks Django wiki page <https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/ChannelsTasks>`_,
+but this is just a suggested list - any offer to help is welcome.
+
+
+I'm interested, how should I get started?
+-----------------------------------------
+
+The best thing to do is to see if there's a `GitHub issue <https://github.com/andrewgodwin/channels/issues>`_
+for the thing you wish to work on - if there is, leave a comment saying you're
+going to take it on, and if not, open one describing what you're doing so there's
+a place to record information around.
+
+If you have questions, you can either open an issue with the questions detailed,
+hop on the ``#django-channels`` channel on Freenode IRC, or email Andrew directly
+at ``andrew@aeracode.org``.
+
+
+I'm a novice contributor/developer - can I help?
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Of course - just get in touch like above and mention your experience level,
+and we'll try the best we can to match you up with someone to mentor you through
+the task.
+
+
+Can you pay me for my time?
+---------------------------
+
+Thanks to Mozilla, we have a reasonable budget to pay people for their time
+working on all of the above sorts of tasks and more. If you're interested in
+working on something and being paid, you'll need to draw up a short proposal
+and get it approved first - the wiki page above has more details, and if you're
+interested, email andrew@aeracode.org to get the conversation started.
