+Want to contribute? Great! First, read this page (including the small print at the end).
+
+
+Before you contribute
+=====================
+
+Before we can use your code, you must sign the Google Individual Contributor
+License Agreement (CLA),
+
+  https://developers.google.com/open-source/cla/individual?csw=1
+
+which you can do online. The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the
+copyright to your changes, even after your contribution becomes part of our
+codebase, so we need your permission to use and distribute your code. We also
+need to be sure of various other things—for instance that you'll tell us if you
+know that your code infringes on other people's patents. You don't have to sign
+the CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a member has
+approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our codebase.
+Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in touch with
+us first through the issue tracker with your idea so that we can help out and
+possibly guide you. Coordinating up front makes it much easier to avoid
+frustration later on.

+Getting in touch with the gemmlowp community
+============================================
+
+The central point of communication around gemmlowp is the mailing list,
+  https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/gemmlowp
+
+
+TODO items and projects
+=======================
+
+We try to keep a current list of TODO items in the todo/ directory.
+Please feel free to pick one to work on, and to ask current maintainers for
+guidance. The gemmlowp mailing list is a good place for that.
+
+
+Code reviews
+============
+
+All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review.
+For this purpose, we use Github pull requests against this repository:
+
+  https://github.com/google/gemmlowp
+
+
+The small print
+===============
+
+Contributions made by corporations are covered by a different agreement than
+the one above, the Software Grant and Corporate Contributor License Agreement.
