+issue](https://github.com/KevM/tikaondotnet/issues/new). Contributors here will
+chime in when they can.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+Check out the [ReadMe](https://github.com/KevM/tikaondotnet). It should have
+everything you need to get started.
+
+### The Usual
+
+Did a new version of Tika come out and you want to get the Nuget updated? This is
+very common so check out the ReadMe on [Updating Tika](https://github.com/KevM/tikaondotnet#updating-tika).
+After you've got the new version building, [create a pull request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/).
+Once it is merged a [Nuget will be published](https://www.nuget.org/packages/TikaOnDotNet/).
+
