+# Contributing to Nuclear
+
+Welcome, and thank you for your interest in contributing to Nuclear!
+
+There are many ways in which you can contribute, beyond writing code. The goal of this document is to provide a high-level overview of how you can get involved.
+
+## Reporting Issues
+
+### Before reporting a new issue or feature request
+
+Have you identified a reproducible problem in nuclear? Have a feature request? We want to hear about it! Here's how you can make reporting your issue as effective as possible.
+
+Before you create a new issue, please do a search in [open issues](https://github.com/nukeop/nuclear/issues) to see if the issue or feature request has already been filed.
+
+If you find your issue already exists, make relevant comments and add your reaction. Use a reaction in place of a "+1" comment:
+
+* 👍 - upvote
+* 👎 - downvote
+
+If you cannot find an existing issue that describes your bug or feature, create a new issue using the guidelines below.
+
+### Writing Good Bug Reports and Feature Requests
+
+File a single issue per problem and feature request. Do not enumerate multiple bugs or feature requests in the same issue.
+
+Do not add your issue as a comment to an existing issue unless it's for the identical input. Many issues look similar, but have different causes.
+
+The more information you can provide, the more likely someone will be successful at reproducing the issue and finding a fix.
+
+Please include the following with each issue:
+
+* Version of nuclear (written under the main logo) 
+
+* Your operating system  
+
+* Reproducible steps (1... 2... 3...) that cause the issue
+
+* What you expected to see, versus what you actually saw
+
+* Images, animations, or a link to a video showing the issue occurring
+
+* A code snippet that demonstrates the issue or a link to a code repository the developers can easily pull down to recreate the issue locally
+
+  * **Note:** Because the developers need to copy and paste the code snippet, including a code snippet as a media file (i.e. .gif) is not sufficient.
+
+
+## Contributing Fixes

+If you are interested in writing code to fix issues or add features, 
+please see How to Contribute (work in progress) in the wiki.
