 ### Contributing
+All work should be done based of the `dev` branch! Trying to compile on the `master` branch will fail - this is intentional. While I can't do something like that for XML and translations, I may choose to reject the pull request based on the amount of work required to transfer all commits into the `dev` branch.
+
+The best practices:
+1. Fork this repository.
+2. In your fork create a new branch based on `dev`. The name of the new branch should reflect what you are changing in 3 words or less, separated by `-`. For example `rmb-menu-refactor` or `japanese-translation`.
+3. Make your changes and commit them to the new branch.
+4. Create a new merge request from your branch into the `dev` branch of this repository.

 To be consistent with RJW, please use TABS not SPACES.
