+# Contributing to bootstrap-sass 
+
+## Bugs
+
+A bug is a _demonstrable problem_ that is caused by the code in the
+repository. Good bug reports are extremely helpful - thank you!
+
+Guidelines for bug reports:
+
+1. **Does it belong here?** — is this a problem with bootstrap-sass, or
+   it an issue with [twitter/bootstrap](https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap)?
+   We only distribute a direct port and will not modify files if they're not
+   changed upstream.
+
+2. **Use the GitHub issue search** — check if the issue has already been
+   reported.
+
+3. **Isolate the problem** — ideally create a [reduced test
+   case](http://css-tricks.com/6263-reduced-test-cases/) and a live example.
+
+A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you up for more
+information. Please try to be as detailed as possible in your report. What is
+your environment? What steps will reproduce the issue? What browser(s) and OS
+experience the problem? What would you expect to be the outcome? All these
+details will help people to fix any potential bugs.
+
+Example:
+
+> Short and descriptive example bug report title
+>
+> A summary of the issue and the browser/OS environment in which it occurs. If
+> suitable, include the steps required to reproduce the bug.
+>
+> 1. This is the first step
+> 2. This is the second step
+> 3. Further steps, etc.
+>
+> `<url>` (a link to the reduced test case)
+>
+> Any other information you want to share that is relevant to the issue being
+> reported. This might include the lines of code that you have identified as
+> causing the bug, and potential solutions (and your opinions on their
+> merits).

+## Pull requests
+
+**We will not accept pull requests that modify the SCSS beyond fixing bugs caused by *our* code!**
+
+Most pull requests should go to [twitter/bootstrap](https://github.com/twitter/bootstrap) or [jlong/sass-twitter-bootstrap](https://github.com/jlong/sass-twitter-bootstrap)
+
+Good pull requests - patches, improvements, new features - are a fantastic
+help. They should remain focused in scope and avoid containing unrelated
+commits. If your contribution involves a significant amount of work or substantial
+changes to any part of the project, please open an issue to discuss it first.
+
+Make sure to adhere to the coding conventions used throughout a project
+(indentation, accurate comments, etc.). Please update any documentation that is
+relevant to the change you're making.
+
+## Do not…
+
+Please **do not** use the issue tracker for personal support requests (use
+[Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/)).
+
+Please **do not** derail or troll issues. Keep the
+discussion on topic and respect the opinions of others.
