+## Introduction
+
+The guidelines here should be clear, easy to understand, and easy to follow.
+They aim to foster a collaborative, respectful, and effective working environment.
+### Assume positive intent, and bring a positive attitude and intentions.
+
+First and foremost, assume positive intent. We are all working towards the same goal, and we are all part of the same team. We should bring a positive attitude and intentions to our work.  This work can be fun and challenging, and we should enjoy the journey.
+
+### Respect peoples time and effort.
+
+If someone takes the time to review your pull request (PR) or contributes to an issue, remember that they’ve invested time and effort. Show respect for this by responding thoughtfully and professionally.
