+Apache Jena : Contributing
+==========================
+
+The project welcomes contributions, large and small, from anyone.
+
+The mailing list for project-wide discussions is [email protected] and
all
+development work happens in public, using that list.
+
+The processes described here are guidelines, rather than absolute
+requirements.
+
+
+## Contributions
+
+Contributions can be made by:
+
+* Github pull requests (preferred)
+* JIRA and patches
+* Other
+
+Contributions should include:
+
+* Tests
+* Documentation as needed
+
+Documentation is kept and published with Apache's svnpubsub system:
+
+ https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jena/site/trunk
+
+## Workflow
+
+### JIRA
+
+The project uses a JIRA instance to track work. Please create a JITA so
+that we can track a contribution.
+
+ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA
+
+### Github
+
+It is useful to create a JIRA then use teh JIRA number (e.g. JENA-9999)
+in the Pull Request title. This activates the automated mirroring of
+discussions onto the project developers mailing list.
+
+To make a contribution:
+
+* On github, fork http://github.com/apache/jena into you github account.
+* Create a branch in your fork for hthe contribution.
