-We're really glad you're reading this, because we need volunteer developers to help this project
-come to fruition. 👏
+Any help is welcome! Beginners and veteran coders can contribute, even if just by playing around and
+hunting for bugs.
 
 ## Instructions
 
-These steps will guide you through contributing to this project:
+### Bugs
 
-- Fork the repo
-- Clone it and install dependencies
+1. Search the open _and_ closed issues to see if the bug has occurred before. If there is a closed 
+issue, link to it from a new issue. If there is an open issue, add a comment.
 
-		git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/typescript-library-starter
-		npm install
+2. Include as much information as you can in your issue description, including the expected
+behavior, actual behavior, version, and anything else that might be useful.
 
-Keep in mind that after running `npm install` the git repo is reset. So a good way to cope with this
-is to have a copy of the folder to push the changes, and the other to try them.
+3. If you want to work on the issue yourself, see [Contributing Code](#contributing-code)
 
-Make and commit your changes. Make sure the commands npm run build and npm run test:prod are
-working.
+### Feature Requests
 
-Finally send a 
-[GitHub Pull Request](https://github.com/alexjoverm/typescript-library-starter/compare?expand=1) 
-with a clear list of what you've done (read more 
-[about pull requests](https://help.github.com/articles/about-pull-requests/)). 
-Make sure all of your commits are atomic (one feature per commit).
+    This library is for category-theory based typescript interfaces and common 
+    instances of them. If you need something very specific or complex, you can 
+    implement it in your own project.
+    
+1. Search the open _and_ closed issues to see if the feature has already been requested. If there 
+is a closed issue, leave a comment explaining why it should be reopened. Please do not open a new 
+issue for it. If there is an open issue, add a comment explaining your need. A +1 is fine too.
+  
+2. Open a new issue if you couldn't find one. Describe the instance or interface you need added. If
+possible, link to a Haskell type, or some other existing documentation for the instance you're
+looking for. Regarding interfaces, for now, only those included in fantasy-land or static-land will
+be included. If you need something special, you can create your own using the types exported in
+the [HKT][hkt-module] module.
+
+### Contributing Code
+
+If you're looking to write some interfaces or instances, you're welcome to!
+
+1. Fork the repository.
+
+2. Clone your fork, and create a new branch from develop.
+
+3. At this point, I recommend pushing your branch and starting your pull request. This will signal
+to other contributors that you're working on it. Make sure to *add the `WIP` label* and target
+the develop branch.
+
+4. Once you've made your desired changes, commit using `yarn commit`. This will ensure that the
+commit format is followed correctly. Push your changes. Do not skip git hooks or your PR will be
+rejected.
+
+5. Once your changes are ready, remove the `WIP` label from your pull request. Add @williamareynolds
+as a reviewer.
+
+#### Requirements
+
+* 100% code coverage
+
+* All instances are property tested for all implemented categories using fast-check
+
+* New categories/interfaces are fantasy-land *and* static-land compliant
+
+* The style of changes generally matches the existing code
+
