+# Contributing to PIE
+
+Thank you for taking an interest in contributing to PIE.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The TL;DR version of this is please either [open an issue](https://github.com/php/pie/issues) if you think you have
+> found a bug, or [create a discussion](https://github.com/php/pie/discussions) if you have an idea for a new feature,
+> **BEFORE** starting work on any code changes. Submitting a pull request without checking first may be duplicating
+> work that is already in progress!
+
+## Reporting bugs
+
+If you think you have a bug, please [open an issue](https://github.com/php/pie/issues), and include:
+
+ - What platform and PIE version you're using
+ - The steps to reproduce the issue - please use the `-v` verbose flag (or higher) 
+ - Complete error messages and/or logs, including stack traces (hint: use `-v` for verbose), but please redact sensitive information
+
+## Submitting PRs
+
+Please **do not** just submit PRs for features or ideas without discussing them first. **Start by
+[creating a discussion](https://github.com/php/pie/discussions) first** if there is not already an open discussion or
+issue. If there is already an open discussion or issue, please comment and wait for feedback before starting any work.
+This is because the work may already be in progress or being investigated already. The PIE project is actively being
+developed, and many features are already in discussion or being developed, so if you do not discuss with us first, you
+may be duplicating work already in progress. 
+
+> [!TIP]
+> We try to stay on top of issues already being worked on with the `maintainer investigating` purple label. If you see
+> this on an issue, it is very likely we are already looking into this.
