+# Contributing
+
+'flutter_map' is only as big and useful as it is because of generous open-source contributors!
+
+We're always happy to receive improvements and fixes, so please submit them whenever you can! A few key points are listed below.
+
+> Many feature additions are more suitable for plugins, instead of being added to the core. This is aimed to reduce the future maintenance burden/cost on the maintainers.  
+If we deny your PR for this reason, please do consider publishing a plugin, and we'll be happy to add it to the [Plugins List](https://docs.fleaflet.dev/plugins/list)! See [Making A Plugin](https://docs.fleaflet.dev/plugins/making-a-plugin) for more information.
+
+* Always link your PR to at least one issue, and as many as are resolved
+* Create a draft PR as soon as work starts, and take it out of draft status when ready for review
+* Avoid changing the package version or GitHub workflows
+* Fix issues reported by the GitHub workflows (such as lints & formatting)
