+Contributing to Store
+=======================
+
+The New York Times team welcomes contributions of all kinds, from simple bug reports through documentation, test cases,
+bugfixes, and features.
+
+DOs and DON'Ts
+--------------
+
+* DO follow our coding style (as described below)
+* DO give priority to the current style of the project or file you're changing even if it diverges from the general guidelines.
+* DO include tests when adding new features. When fixing bugs, start with adding a test that highlights how the current behavior is broken.
+* DO keep the discussions focused. When a new or related topic comes up it's often better to create new issue than to side track the discussion.
+* DO run all Gradle verification tasks (`./gradlew check`) before submitting a pull request
+
+* DO NOT send PRs for style changes.
+* DON'T surprise us with big pull requests. Instead, file an issue and start a discussion so we can agree on a direction before you invest a large amount of time.
+* DON'T commit code that you didn't write. If you find code that you think is a good fit, file an issue and start a discussion before proceeding.
+* DON'T submit PRs that alter licensing related files or headers. If you believe there's a problem with them, file an issue and we'll be happy to discuss it.
+
+
+Coding Style
+------------
+
+The coding style employed here is fairly conventional Java - indentations are four spaces, class
+names are PascalCased, identifiers and methods are camelCased.    
+
+Workflow
+--------
+
+We love Github issues!  Before working on any new features, please open an issue so that we can agree on the
+direction, and hopefully avoid investing a lot of time on a feature that might need reworking.
+
+Small pull requests for things like typos, bugfixes, etc are always welcome.
+
+Please note that we will not accept pull requests for style changes.
