+CONTRIBUTING TO MOODLE
+======================
+
+Moodle is made by people like you. We are members of a big worldwide community
+of developers, designers, teachers, testers, translators and other users. We
+work in universities, schools, companies and other places. You are very welcome
+to join us and contribute to the project.
+
+See <https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Contributing_to_Moodle> for the many ways you
+can help, not only with coding.
+
+Moodle is open to community contributions to core, though all code must go
+through peer-review, automated behaviour testing, continuous integration and
+human post-integration checks.
+
+Pull requests
+-------------
+
+Please do not open pull requests via Github. The repository there is just a
+mirror of the official repository at <https://git.moodle.org>. Issues are
+reported and patches provided via <https://tracker.moodle.org>. See below for
+more information.
+
+Moodle core bug fixes and new features
+--------------------------------------
+
+During the years of intensive development, a mature process of including
+submitted patches has evolved.
+
+* Every bug fix or new feature must have a tracker issue.
+* You publish the branch implementing the fix or new feature in your public
+  clone of the moodle.git repository (typically on Github).
+* Your patch is peer-reviewed, discussed, integrated, tested and then released
+  as a part of moodle.git.
+* New features are developed on the master branch. Bug fixes are also
+  backported to currently supported maintenance (stable) branches.
+
+For further details, see <https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Process>.
+
+Moodle plugins
+--------------
+
+Moodle has a framework for additional plugins to extend its functionality. We
+have a Moodle plugins directory <https://moodle.org/plugins/> where you can
+register and maintain your plugin. Plugins hosted in the plugins directory can
+be easily installed and updated via the Moodle administration interface.
+
+* You are expected to have a public source code repository with your plugin
+  code.
+* After registering your plugin in the plugins directory it is reviewed before
+  being published.
+* You are expected to continuously release updated versions of the plugin via
+  the plugins directory. We do not pull from your code repository; you must do
+  it explicitly.
+
+For further details, see <https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Plugin_contribution>.
