+Contributing to AMS
+===================
+
+First of all, **thank you**!
+
+Now, for the details:
+
+Please file issues on the [GitHub Issues
+list](https://github.com/rails-api/active_model_serializers/issues).
+
+Please discuss new features or ask for feedback about a new feature [on
+rails-api-core](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rails-api-core).
+
+If you want a feature implemented, the best way to get it done is to submit a
+pull request that implements it. Tests and docs would be nice.
+
+Please include a CHANGELOG with all entries that change behavior.
