+# Dav1d contribution guide
+
+## CoC
+The [VideoLAN Code of Conduct](https://wiki.videolan.org/CoC) applies to this project.
+
+## Codebase language
+
+The codebase is developed with the following assumptions:
+
+For the library:
+- C language with C99 version, without the VLA or the Complex (*\_\_STDC_NO_COMPLEX__*) features, and without compiler extension,
+- asm in .asm files, using the NASM syntax,
+- no C++ is allowed, whatever the version.
+
+For the tools and utils:
+- C *(see above for restrictions)*
+- Rust
+- C++ only for the MFT.
+
+If you want to use *Threads* or *Atomic* features, please conform to the **C11**/**POSIX** semantic and use a wrapper for older compilers/platforms *(like done in VLC)*.
+
+Please use modern standard POSIX functions *(strscpy, asprintf, tdestroy)*, and provide a compatibility fallback *(like done in VLC)*.
+
+We will make reasonable efforts for compilers that are a bit older, but we won't support gcc 3 or MSVC 2012.
+
