+# Basics
+To contribute to pkgit, you should go to the xmpp muc `pkgit@muc.symlinx.net` and drop your patch file which *should* contain the changes you made.
+
+# How big can the patches be?
+You should only make one effective change per patch.
+Multiple files can be changed per patch, but only as needed to apply the one change.
+Do not change two separated things in one patch.
+If one change is not related to another, make two patches.
+Unless the patch fundamentally changes how the user interacts with pkgit, you should not change `README.md`.
