### Before you contribute
+
Before we can use your code, you must sign the
-[Google Individual Contributor License Agreement](https://cla.developers.google.com/about/google-individual)
-(CLA), which you can do online. The CLA is necessary mainly because you own the
-copyright to your changes, even after your contribution becomes part of our
-codebase, so we need your permission to use and distribute your code. We also
-need to be sure of various other things—for instance that you'll tell us if you
-know that your code infringes on other people's patents. You don't have to sign
-the CLA until after you've submitted your code for review and a member has
-approved it, but you must do it before we can put your code into our codebase.

Before you start working on a larger contribution, you should get in touch with
us first through the issue tracker with your idea so that we can help out and
possibly guide you. Coordinating up front makes it much easier to avoid
frustration later on.

### Code reviews
-All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review.
+
+All submissions, including submissions by project members, require review. We
+recommend [forking the repository][fork], making changes in your fork, and
+[sending us a pull request][pr] so we can review the changes and merge them into
+this repository. Note that this package doesn't use the Dart formatter. The
+reviewer will reformat your code themselves if necessary.
+
+[fork]: https://help.github.com/articles/about-forks/
+[pr]: https://help.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request/
+
+Functional changes will require tests to be added or changed. The tests live in
+the `test/` directory, and are run with `pub run test`. If you need to create
+new tests, use the existing tests as a guideline for what they should look like.
+
+Before you send your pull request, make sure all the tests pass! To run all the
+tests, you'll need:
+
+* A recent version of [Dartium][] on your path as `dartium`.
+* A recent version of the Dartium content shell on your path as `content_shell`.
+ See [the README][] for installation instructions.
+* [PhantomJS][] version 2.0.0 or higher.
+
+[Dartium]: https://webdev.dartlang.org/tools/dartium
+[the README]: https://github.com/dart-lang/test/blob/master/README.md#running-tests-on-dartium
+[PhantomJS]: http://phantomjs.org/
+
+Once you have these, just run `pub run test`.
