+We welcome contributions through pull requests on GitHub and encourage contributors to join our IRC channel on freenode, #polr
+
+Polr is written in PHP with the Lumen (Laravel-based) framework. As of 2016, we won't be officially supporting 1.x outside of fixing critical security bugs. The 1.x legacy branch uses MySQLi and requires the MySQL native driver -- whereas 2.x requires the PDO driver and uses the Eloquent ORM.
+
+You can run tests for Polr using `phpunit`, and we encourage all contributors submitting a pull request to run them beforehand.
+
+Polr is licensed under the __GPLv2+__ license: either version 2 of the GPL, or at your option, any later version. 
+
+By contributing to Polr, you agree to have your work licensed under GPLv2+.
+
+Please be considerate towards others and respect all who participate in the community.
+
+Thank you so much for contributing!
