+## Why?
+
+Do you want to fix an error you have found? Do you know a way to improve my
+6502-fu or do you know a technique on NES development that might help here? I am
+open for discussion and welcome any help!
+
+## How?
+
+There are many ways to help me out. One way might be to open an issue on
+[Github's tracker](https://github.com/mssola/list.nes/issues) and start a
+discussion. For this, mind the following:
+
+- Check that the issue has not already been reported or fixed in `main`.
+- Try to be concise and precise in your description.
+- If you have found a problem, provide a step by step guide on how to reproduce it.
+- Provide the version you are using (git commit SHA), as well as the version of
+ the toolchain and the emulator/system being used.
+
+Another way is to simply submit a pull request. For this, also mind these:
+
+- Write a [good commit message](https://chris.beams.io/posts/git-commit/).
+- You are sure that `make` continues to work.
+- The pull request has *only* one subject and a clear title. You are not
+ submitting a pull request with tons of different unrelated commits.
