+# Contributing to 100 Go Mistakes
+
+First of all, thank you for taking the time to contribute! 🎉
+
+We aim to create a collaborative space that could become the canonical place to find common mistakes to avoid in Go.
+
+If you want to participate, please look at the open issues. The 100 Go Mistakes repository is a documentation project, so all the content that can be enriched is in the 
+[/docs](https://github.com/teivah/100-go-mistakes/tree/master/docs) folder. The main file is [index.md](https://github.com/teivah/100-go-mistakes/blob/master/docs/index.md), 
+the one containing the main content of [100go.co](https://100go.co/).
+
+If you submit a PR, please do not care about the HTML generation (the website uses MkDocs), I'll take care of it. Said differently, most PRs should
+only contain modifications to .md files.
