+Contribute
+**********
+
+Eclim is a project developed entirely in my spare time, so its growth
+and success can be directly impacted by contributions from the
+community.  There are several ways in which you can contribute:
+
+1. Documentation: The documentation can always use improvements.
+   Right now it is written entirely by me, and as such, it may not be
+   as detailed in some areas as it should.  What the documentation
+   could really use is some help from its users:
+   - Point out any grammar or spelling errors, since some always
+     manage to slip through.
+   - Point out areas of the documentation that are vague and could
+     use elaboration.
+   - Write new guides to be included in the "Guides" section of the
+     site.
+2. Bug Reports: Some people are a bit shy about speaking up and
+   reporting bugs.  I want to urge people not to be.  If something
+   doesn't work, report it.  It may be a bug, but even if it is just a
+   configuration issue on your end, a misconception on how you thought
+   it should work, or some other quirk specific to your environment,
+   speak up.  These can signal that some scripts may need to validate
+   or account for some aspect of the user's environment, or that the
+   documentation may need some work to ensure the user knows what to
+   expect.  Any issue that goes unreported, goes unfixed, so please
+   report all issues, big and small.
+3. Feature Requests: On occasion I receive a request or two, but I
+   would like to encourage more people to voice their opinion on what
+   they think should be added or changed in eclim.  Once again,
+   nothing is too small to suggest.  Chances are, that if you have
+   something that you would like added or changed, there are others
+   out there that would benefit from the same addition or
+   modification.
+   To see what features I have already thought about, you can view my
+   todo list (http://github.com/ervandew/eclim/blob/master/notes.txt).
+
+4. Code Contributions: In addition to reporting bugs or requesting
+   features, you can also take that next step and implement a fix or
+   feature yourself.  I just ask that you document your patch
+   accordingly so that I know exactly what you are attempting to fix
+   or add.  Also, if you plan to add a medium or large feature, please
+   let me know prior to beginning your work.  That way I can keep a
+   small list of who is working on what to avoid any duplication of
+   effort and link people together that wish to work on the same
+   feature.  The list would also afford me the ability to contact you
+   should a change to eclim possibly affect what you are working on.
+   If you plan on making any code contributes, please read the
+   developer guide (development-gettingstarted) first.
+5. Monetary Contributions: I am not currently accepting any
+   donations. My day job pays well, and I work on eclim for the love
+   of it.  If you have money you would like to donate, it would go to
+   much better use if you donated to vim
+   (http://www.vim.org/sponsor/index.php), where it is used to help
+   children in Uganda.  Feel free to mention your referral from eclim
+   if appropriate.
