+## Community
+
+The Phergie team believes heavily in the [PHP Mentoring](http://www.phpmentoring) project.
+We believe open source projects should be welcoming to newcomers and veteran contributors alike.
+We all actively work to provide a positive collaborative environment and to foster learning.
+
+## Project Breakdown
+
+The Phergie project is broken into different repositories for parts of the application.
+The core bot is in this repo. Plugins are in their own repositories.
+
+The Phergie team maintains many plugins under the Phergie organization while other contributors maintain their own plugins.

+
+## Code Style
+
+We have adopted [PSR-2](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style-guide.md) as the primary style guide.
+
+We have a `.php_cs` configuration file for [php-cs-fixer](https://github.com/FriendsOfPHP/PHP-CS-Fixer)
+
+We have also established a few style guidelines we strive for:
+
+* Four space indention
+* Methods, Properties, and Variables should be camelCase
+* Short array syntax
+* K&R braces (including elseif/else)
+* Chained method calls should be indented
+* See [Our Style Discussion](https://github.com/phergie/phergie-irc-bot-react/issues/20) For more.
+
