# Contributing
Thanks for wanting to help improve Handel! This page contains information you should know before contributing to Handel.

# Project Vision
The Handel project has a few goals:

* Sit at a higher level of abstration than vanilla CloudFormation to provide an easier user experience.
* Automatically and securely wire together services on behalf of users.
* Be organization-agnostic so Handel can be used by many different entities.

When contributing to Handel, please keep these goals in mind, as pull requests that run counter to these goals will likely be rejected. Handel's desire is to be an easier and more enjoyable experience than using vanilla CloudFormation.
