+Contributing to Ansible-lint
+============================
+
+To contribute to ansible-lint, please use pull requests on a branch
+of your own fork.
+
+After `creating your fork on GitHub`_, you can do:
+
+.. code-block:: shell-session
+
+   $ git clone git@github.com:yourname/ansible-lint
+   $ cd ansible-lint
+   $ git checkout -b your-branch-name
+   # DO SOME CODING HERE
+   $ git add your new files
+   $ git commit -v
+   $ git push origin your-branch-name
+
+You will then be able to create a pull request from your commit.
+
+All fixes to core functionality (i.e. anything except docs or examples)
+should be accompanied by tests that fail prior to your change and
+succeed afterwards.
+
+Feel free to raise issues in the repo if you feel unable to
+contribute a code fix.

+Standards
+---------
+
+ansible-lint is flake8 compliant with ``max-line-length`` set to 100
+(see `.flake8`_).
