 A repository to collect and share components in lively.next.
 
+## About
+
+This is an homage to the `PartsBin`, as included in various versions of `lively`. Since `lively.next` emphasizes collaborative work via file-based projects, we utilize such a project as well to share reusable parts and cool demos with the whole `lively.next` community!
+
+> **Note**
+> You are welcome to contribute to this collection! Please read the section below.
+> Have fun! 🎉
+
+## Contributing

+0. Note, that the whole collection is under MIT license.
+1. Add a short description of your addition to the README below.
+2. Store the `partsbin` project via `lively.next` (or make the necessary adaptions manually, if you know what you are doing) in order to update all `lively.project` related files.
+3. Bump the minor version for additions/fixes. Bump only the patch version for non-breaking/not fixing changes.
+
+> **Warning**
+> **Note to Maintainers: We try to merge PRs that introduce a new part via *one* merge commit.
+> Fixes to already merged parts should usually be merged via rebase.
