+#### On accepting pull requests
+
+It’s pretty early still, and we have strong opinions about how we want to do things, so we’re not seeking help just yet.
+
+That said, we will seriously consider any pull requests we do get. Just note that we may not accept them, or we may accept them and do a bunch of revision.
