+# CONTRIBUTING
+
+The libuv project welcomes new contributors. This document will guide you
+through the process.
+
+
+### FORK
+
+Fork the project [on GitHub](https://github.com/joyent/libuv) and check out
+your copy.
+
+```
+$ git clone https://github.com/username/libuv.git
+$ cd libuv
+$ git remote add upstream https://github.com/joyent/libuv.git
+```
+
+Now decide if you want your feature or bug fix to go into the master branch
+or the stable branch.  As a rule of thumb, bug fixes go into the stable branch
+while new features go into the master branch.
+
+The stable branch is effectively frozen; patches that change the libuv
+API/ABI or affect the run-time behavior of applications get rejected.
+
+In case of doubt, open an issue in the [issue tracker][], post your question
+to the [libuv mailing list], or contact one of project maintainers
+(@bnoordhuis, @piscisaureus, @indutny or @saghul) on [IRC][].
+
+Especially do so if you plan to work on something big.  Nothing is more
+frustrating than seeing your hard work go to waste because your vision
+does not align with that of a project maintainers.
+
+
+### BRANCH
+
+Okay, so you have decided on the proper branch.  Create a feature branch
+and start hacking:
+
+```
+$ git checkout -b my-feature-branch -t origin/v0.10
+```
+
+(Where v0.10 is the latest stable branch as of this writing.)
+
+### CODE
+
+Please adhere to libuv's code style. In general it follows the conventions from
+the [Google C/C++ style guide]. Some of the key points, as well as some
+additional guidelines, are enumerated below.
+
+* Code that is specific to unix-y platforms should be placed in `src/unix`, and
+  declarations go into `src/uv-unix.h`.
+
+* Source code that is Windows-specific goes into `src/win`, and related
+  publicly exported types, functions and macro declarations should generally
+  be declared in `include/uv-win.h`.
+
+* Names should be descriptive and concise.
+
+* All the symbols and types that libuv makes available publicly should be
+  prefixed with `uv_` (or `UV_` in case of macros).
+
+* Internal, non-static functions should be prefixed with `uv__`.
+
+* Use two spaces and no tabs.
+
+* Lines should be wrapped at 80 characters.
+
+* Ensure that lines have no trailing whitespace, and use unix-style (LF) line
+  endings.
+
+* Use C89-compliant syntax. In other words, variables can only be declared at
+  the top of a scope (function, if/for/while-block).
+
+* When writing comments, use properly constructed sentences, including
+  punctuation.
+
+* When documenting APIs and/or source code, don't make assumptions or make
+  implications about race, gender, religion, political orientation or anything
+  else that isn't relevant to the project.
+
+* Remember that source code usually gets written once and read often: ensure
+  the reader doesn't have to make guesses. Make sure that the purpose and inner
+  logic are either obvious to a reasonably skilled professional, or add a
+  comment that explains it.
+
+
+### COMMIT
+
+Make sure git knows your name and email address:
+
+```
+$ git config --global user.name "J. Random User"
+$ git config --global user.email "j.random.user@example.com"
+```
+
+Writing good commit logs is important.  A commit log should describe what
+changed and why.  Follow these guidelines when writing one:
+
+1. The first line should be 50 characters or less and contain a short
+   description of the change prefixed with the name of the changed
+   subsystem (e.g. "net: add localAddress and localPort to Socket").
+2. Keep the second line blank.
+3. Wrap all other lines at 72 columns.
+
+A good commit log looks like this:
+
+```
+subsystem: explaining the commit in one line
+
+Body of commit message is a few lines of text, explaining things
+in more detail, possibly giving some background about the issue
+being fixed, etc etc.
+
+The body of the commit message can be several paragraphs, and
+please do proper word-wrap and keep columns shorter than about
+72 characters or so. That way `git log` will show things
+nicely even when it is indented.
+```
+
+The header line should be meaningful; it is what other people see when they
+run `git shortlog` or `git log --oneline`.
+
+Check the output of `git log --oneline files_that_you_changed` to find out
+what subsystem (or subsystems) your changes touch.
+
+
+### REBASE
+
+Use `git rebase` (not `git merge`) to sync your work from time to time.
+
+```
+$ git fetch upstream
+$ git rebase upstream/v0.10  # or upstream/master
+```
+
+
+### TEST
+
+Bug fixes and features should come with tests.  Add your tests in the
+`test/` directory. Tests also need to be registered in `test/test-list.h`.
+Look at other tests to see how they should be structured (license boilerplate,
+the way entry points are declared, etc.).
+
+```
+$ make test
+```
+
+Make sure that there are no test regressions.
+
+### PUSH
+
+```
+$ git push origin my-feature-branch
+```
+
+Go to https://github.com/username/libuv and select your feature branch.  Click
+the 'Pull Request' button and fill out the form.
+
+Pull requests are usually reviewed within a few days.  If there are comments
+to address, apply your changes in a separate commit and push that to your
+feature branch.  Post a comment in the pull request afterwards; GitHub does
+not send out notifications when you add commits.
+
+
+### CONTRIBUTOR LICENSE AGREEMENT
+
+The current state of affairs is that, in order to get a patch accepted, you need
+to sign Node.js's [contributor license agreement][]. You only need to do that
+once.
