+Welcome, we are a kind, open-minded, simple community. All help welcome, in any way you can think of.
+
+## Coding
+**Remmina** uses the [fork and pull](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11582995/what-is-the-fork-pull-model-in-github) model.
+If you’d like to make changes to this project, the following steps will get you there!
+
+  1. Fork [this repo](https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/forks/new)
+  2. Make your changes
+  3. [Submit a merge request](https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/merge_requests/new)
+
+The [wiki](https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/wikis/home) has details on how to compile Remmina and FreeRDP.
+Look for issues labeled [“help wanted”](https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/issues?label_name%5B%5D=help+wanted). There are also paid bounties available.
+Know how to fix a bug or implement anything requested or completely new, but lack the time? Get in touch, **We can pay for some hours of your time. Don't be shy.**
+
+### Fix existing bugs
+In general, this is the most important task.
+To see all the issues already labeled as bugs, you can use [this query](https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/issues?label_name%5B%5D=bug)
+
+### Implement most wanted features and fixes (_bounty $305_)
+Similarly, we have a quite important list of feature requests, that are labeled as [enhancement](https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/issues?label_name%5B%5D=enhancement&sort=created_date&state=opened), of which some that have a [bounty](https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/issues?scope=all&utf8=%E2%9C%93&state=opened&label_name[]=enhancement&label_name[]=bounty) for those that will be able to implement them.

+  * [#376](https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/issues/376) : RDP: Multi monitor support [$15]
+
+### Internal projects
+  * Refactoring [remmina\_connection\_window.c](https://gitlab.com/Remmina/Remmina/blob/master/src/remmina_connection_window.c) as it is big, complicated and hard to extend.
+  * Simplify the user interface.
+  * Separate plugin processes from the main process to improve stability.
+  * Write an additional plugin system to write plugins also in Python and eventually Ruby.
+
