+## Contributing to the Flight Framework
+
+Thanks for being willing to contribute to the Flight! The goal of Flight is to keep the implementation of things simple and free of outside dependencies. 
+You should only bring in the depedencies you want in your project right? Right.
+
+### Overarching Guidelines
+
+Flight aims to be simple and fast. Anything that compromises either of those two things will be heavily scrutinized and/or rejected. Other things to consider when making a contribution:
+
+* **Dependencies** - We strive to be dependency free in Flight. Yes even polyfills, yes even `Interface` only repos like `psr/container`. The fewer dependencies, the fewer your exposed security areas.
+
+* **Coding Standards** - We use PSR1 coding standards enforced by PHPCS. PHPStan is at level 6. Spaces are enforced instead of tabs. We prefer `===` instead of truthy or falsey statements.
+
+* **Core functionality vs Plugin** - Have a conversation with us in the [chatroom](https://matrix.to/#/!cTfwPXhpkTXPXwVmxY:matrix.org?via=matrix.org&via=leitstelle511.net&via=integrations.ems.host) to know if your idea is worth makes sense in the framework or in a plugin.
+
+#### **Did you find a bug?**
+
+* **Do not open up a GitHub issue if the bug is a security vulnerability**. Instead contact maintainers directly via email to safely pass in the information
+
+* **Ensure the bug was not already reported** by searching on GitHub under [Issues](https://github.com/flightphp/core/issues).
+
+* If you're unable to find an open issue addressing the problem, [open a new one](https://github.com/flightphp/core/issues/new). Be sure to include a **title and clear description**, as much relevant information as possible, and a **code sample** or an **executable test case** demonstrating the expected behavior that is not occurring.
+
+#### **Did you write a patch that fixes a bug?**
+
+* Open a new GitHub pull request with the patch.
+
+* Ensure the PR description clearly describes the problem and solution. Include the relevant issue number if applicable.
+
+#### **Did you fix whitespace, format code, or make a purely cosmetic patch?**
+
+Changes that are cosmetic in nature and do not add anything substantial to the stability, functionality, or testability of Flight will generally not be accepted.
+
+#### **Do you intend to add a new feature or change an existing one?**
+
+* Hop into the [chatroom](https://matrix.to/#/!cTfwPXhpkTXPXwVmxY:matrix.org?via=matrix.org&via=leitstelle511.net&via=integrations.ems.host) for Flight and let's have a conversation about the feature you want to add. It could be amazing, or it might make more sense as an extension/plugin. If you create a PR without having a conversation with maintainers, it likely will be closed without review.
+
+* Do not open an issue on GitHub until you have collected positive feedback about the change. GitHub issues are primarily intended for bug reports and fixes.
+
+#### **Do you have questions about the source code?**
+
+* Ask any question about how to use Flight in the in the [Flight Matrix chat room](https://matrix.to/#/!cTfwPXhpkTXPXwVmxY:matrix.org?via=matrix.org&via=leitstelle511.net&via=integrations.ems.host).
+
+#### **Do you want to contribute to the Flight documentation?**
+
+* Please read [Contributing to the Flight Documentation](https://docs.flightphp.com).
+
+Flight is a volunteer effort. We encourage you to pitch in and join!
+
+Thanks! :heart: :heart: :heart:
