+# Introduction
+
+### Welcome!
+
+First off, thank you for considering contributing to Homer!
+
+### Project philosophy
+
+Homer is meant to be a light and very simple dashboard that keeps all your usefull utilities at hands. The few features implemented in Homer focus on
+UX and usability. If you are looking for a full featured dashboard, there is tons of great stuff out there like https://heimdall.site/, https://github.com/rmountjoy92/DashMachine or https://organizr.app/.
+
+- Configuration is stored in a simple config file, avoiding the need for a backend/database while making possible to use versionning or [config template](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_templating.html).
+- Only modern browsers are supported, feel free to use any JS features without any polyfill as soon as the latest version of the major browsers supports them.
+
+### Roadmap
+
+If you want to know more about the project direction or looking for something to work on, checkout the [roadmap](https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer#Roadmap)!
+Feel free to open an issue if you have any question.
+
+# Ground Rules
+
+### Code of conduct and guidelines
+
+First of all, we expect everyone (contributors and maintainers alike) to respect the [Code of conduct](https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md). It is not a recomandation, it is mandatory.
+
+For all contributions, please respect the following guidelines:
+
+* Each pull request should implement ONE feature or bugfix. If you want to add or fix more than one thing, submit more than one pull request.
+* Do not commit changes to files that are irrelevant to your feature or bugfix (eg: `.gitignore`).
+* Do not add unnecessary dependencies.
+* Be aware that the pull request review process is not immediate, and is generally proportional to the size of the pull request.
+
+# Getting started
+
+### Discuss about ideas
+
+If you want to add a feature, it's often best to talk about it before starting working on it and submitting a pull request. It's not mandatory at all, but
+feel free to open an issue to present your idea.
+
+### How to submit a contribution
+
+The general process to submit a contribution is as follow:
+1. Create your own fork of the code
+2. Do the changes in your fork
+3. Make sure to fill the [pull request description](https://github.com/bastienwirtz/homer/blob/master/.github/PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE.md) properly.
+
+### Happy coding :metal:
