+## Documentation
+Even though you follow [numpydoc](https://numpydoc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) document style when writing your code, 
+this does not ensure those lines appear on TensorLayer online documentation. 
+You need further modify corresponding RST files in `docs/modules`.
+
+For example, to add your implemented new pooling layer into documentation, modify `docs/modules/layer.rst`. First, insert layer name under Layer list
+```rst
+Layer list
+----------
+
+.. autosummary::
+
+    NewPoolingLayer
+```
+
+Second, find pooling layer part and add:
+```rst
+.. -----------------------------------------------------------
+..                     Pooling Layers
+.. -----------------------------------------------------------
+
+Pooling Layers
+------------------------
+
+New Pooling Layer
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+.. autoclass:: NewPoolingLayer
+```
+
+Finally, test with local documentation:
+```bash
+cd ./docs
+
+make clean
+make html  
+# then view generated local documentation by ./html/index.html
+``` 
+
+## General intro to TensorLayer2
+* TensorLayer2 is built on [TensorFlow2](https://www.tensorflow.org/alpha), so TensorLayer2 is purely eager, no sessions, no globals.
+* TensorLayer2 supports APIs to build static models and dynamic models. Therefore, all `Layers` should be compatible with the two modes.
+```python
+# An example of a static model
+# A static model has inputs and outputs with fixed shape.
+inputs = tl.layers.Input([32, 784])
+dense1 = tl.layers.Dense(n_units=800, act=tf.nn.relu, in_channels=784, name='dense1')(inputs)
+dense2 = tl.layers.Dense(n_units=10,  act=tf.nn.relu, in_channels=800, name='dense2')(dense1)
+model = tl.models.Model(inputs=inputs, outputs=dense2)
+
+# An example of a dynamic model
+# A dynamic model has more flexibility. The inputs and outputs may be different in different runs.
+class CustomizeModel(tl.models.Model):
+    def __init__(self):
+        super(CustomizeModel, self).__init__()
+        self.dense1 = tl.layers.Dense(n_units=800, act=tf.nn.relu, in_channels=784, name='dense1')
+        self.dense2 = tl.layers.Dense(n_units=10,  act=tf.nn.relu, in_channels=800, name='dense2')
+
+    # a dynamic model allows more flexibility by customising forwarding.
+    def forward(self, x, bar=None):
+        d1 = self.dense1(x)
+        if bar:
+            return d1
+        else:
+            d2 = self.dense2(d1)
+            return d1, d2
+
+model = CustomizeModel()
+```
+* More examples can be found in [examples](examples/) and [tests/layers](tests/layers/). Note that not all of them are completed.
+
+## How to contribute a new `Layer`
+* A `NewLayer` should be a derived from the base class [`Layer`](tensorlayer/layers/core.py).
+* Member methods to be overrided:
+  - `__init__(self, args1, args2, inputs_shape=None, name=None)`: The constructor of the `NewLayer`, which should
+    - Call `super(NewLayer, self).__init__(name)` to construct the base.
+    - Define member variables based on the args1, args2 (or even more).
+    - If the `inputs_shape` is provided, call `self.build(inputs_shape)` and set `self._built=True`. Note that sometimes only `in_channels` should be enough to build the layer like [`Dense`](tensorlayer/layers/dense/base_dense.py).
+    - Logging by `logging.info(...)`.
+  - `__repr__(self)`: Return a printable representation of the `NewLayer`.
+  - `build(self, inputs_shape)`: Build the `NewLayer` by defining weights.
+  - `forward(self, inputs, **kwargs)`: Forward feeding the `NewLayer`. Note that the forward feeding of some `Layers` may be different during training and testing like [`Dropout`](tensorlayer/layers/dropout.py).
+* Unittest:
+  - Unittest should be done before a pull request. Unittest code can be written in [tests/](tests/)
+* Documents:
+  - Please write a description for each class and method in RST format. The description may include the functionality, arguments, references, examples of the `NewLayer`.
+* Examples: [`Dense`](tensorlayer/layers/dense/base_dense.py), [`Dropout`](tensorlayer/layers/dropout.py), [`Conv`](tensorlayer/layers/convolution/simplified_conv.py).
+
+## How to contribute a new `Model`
+* A `NewModel` should be derived from the base class [`Model`](tensorlayer/models/core.py) (if dynamic) or an instance of [`Model`](tensorlayer/models/core.py) (if static).
+* A static `NewModel` should have fixed inputs and outputs. Please check the example [`VGG_Static`](tensorlayer/models/vgg.py)
+* A dynamic `NewModel` has more flexiblility. Please check the example [`VGG16`](tensorlayer/models/vgg16.py)
+
+## How to contribute a new example/tutorial
+* A new example/tutorial should implement a complete workflow of deep learning which includes (but not limited)
+  - `Models` construction based on `Layers`.
+  - Data processing and loading.
+  - Training and testing.
+  - Forward feeding by calling the models.
+  - Loss function.
+  - Back propagation by `tf.GradientTape()`.
+  - Model saving and restoring.
+* Examples: [MNIST](examples/basic_tutorials/tutorial_mnist_mlp_static.py), [CIFAR10](examples/basic_tutorials/tutorial_cifar10_cnn_static.py), [FastText](examples/text_classification/tutorial_imdb_fasttext.py)
