+3. Try to explain the issue in details and include any aditional info if possible. Screenshots, Video or a way to reproduce the issue.
+* Failing to provide all of the above details can result in an issue being closed without action. 
+
+## Pull Request Process

+2. Try ensure that the build works successfully and attempt to test it yourself thoroughly.

+
+## Standard of Quality
+
+### Our Goal
+
+In the interest of fostering an open project environment, we as
+contributors and maintainers try to make participation in our project and
+our community a hassle-free experience wherever possible..
+
+### Our Standards
+
+Practices that contribute to creating a positive environment
+include:
+
+* Follow the codestyle used through most of the project
+* Being respectful of differing viewpoints on the PR
+* Gracefully accepting constructive criticism
+* Focusing on what is best for the community
+* Try to document your code as you go for future readability.
+
+Practies we'd like to avoid include:
+
+* Leaving large code comment segments commented out without any comments.
+* Making large changes to pre-existing content without large community consultation beforehand. (Provided that the code changed won't continue to be backcompatible for addons.)
+
+### Our Responsibilities
+
+Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
+reject comments, commits, code, issues, and other contributions
