+# Contributing to Winetricks
+
+## License:
+Winetricks is licensed under the LGPL 2.1 or later. Sending a pull request indicates your willingness to license your contribution under this license.
+
+## Coding standards:
+* Documented at top of ```src/winetricks```
+* POSIX shell, no bash (maintainer's scripts can be python/bash)
+* If something is unclear, ask
+
+## Making a patch:
+* Check out the source: ```git clone [email protected]:Winetricks/winetricks.git```
+* Hack the source: ```vi src/winetricks```
+* Test it:
+    * Ideally, Winetricks should work under any Wine version. In practice, testing against the current development and stable versions is sufficient.
+        * If a bug is only present in some Wine versions, w_workaround_bug() should be used
+    * ```./src/winetricks -q -v foo```
+    * ```./tests/shell-checks```: MUST pass (Travis CI verifies)
+        * This tool uses checkbashisms (package `devscripts` on Debian-based distributions) and [ShellCheck](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck)
+        * If ShellCheck fails, see [ShellCheck wiki](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki) and fix/[ignore](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/Ignore) the error(s)
+            * Detailed error information is available in the wiki (e.g. [SC2154](https://github.com/koalaman/shellcheck/wiki/SC2154))
+    * ```./tests/winetricks-test check```: optional but recommended, if you have the time and hard drive space this should be run
+
+## Sending your patch:
+* Commit:
+    * Commit should start with component affected, or misc/winetricks if generic, followed by a short summary:
+    ```git commit -a -m 'vcrun2005: fix a typo'```
+        * If you add a new verb, use the format: `verb_name: new verb(, description...)`
+    * Extended git logs are okay if more explanation is needed
+* Send PR: https://github.com/Winetricks/winetricks/compare/
+* If you are asked for changes:
+    * Edit the source/commit as appropriate: ```vi src/winetricks``` / ```git commit --amend -a```
+    * Force push ```git push -f your_org your_repo```
+    * Github will automatically update the Pull Request, but it WON'T send a notification.
+    * Make sure to comment/tag maintainer so he knows there's been an update
+
+## Bug reports:
+* Bug reports must contain, at a minimum:
+    * The Winetricks version (printed at top of stdout, or use ```winetricks --version```)
+    * The Wine version used (```wine --version```)
+    * The failing command (```winetricks foobar```)
+    * The terminal output, preferably as a ```.txt``` attachment
+    * Bug reports lacking this information may be closed without warning
+
+* Feature requests should provide as much detail as possible, along with the tested Winetricks version
