+# Content Guidelines
+
+The issue tracker is exclusively for filing and discussing bugs, feature
+requests, and tracking work items. It is not for technical support or general
+discussion. Avoid discussing any illegal activity, such as downloading games.
+
+**Repeated misuses will result in a permanent project ban.**
+
+## Information Sourcing
+
+All information in xenia has been derived from reverse engineering legally-owned
+games, hardware, and tools made public by Microsoft (such as the XNA Game Studio
+tooling), scouring documentation made public by Microsoft (such as slide decks
+and other presentations at conferences), and information from code made public
+by 3rd party companies (like the Valve SDKs).
+
+The official Microsoft Xbox Development Kits (XDKs) are not to be used for any
+information added to the project. The contributors do not want the XDKs, nor do
+they want any information derived from them. The challenge of the project is
+what makes it fun! Poisoning the codebase with code obtained by shady means
+could result in the project being terminated, so just don't do it.
+
+**Posting any information directly from an XDK will result in a project ban.**
+
+# Contributing Code
+
+## Style Guide
+
+Please read over [style_guide.md](style_guide.md) before sending pull requests
+and ensure your code is clean as the buildbot (or I) will make you to fix it :)
+[style_guide.md](style_guide.md) has information about using `xb format` and
+various IDE auto formatting tools so that you can avoid having to clean things
+up later, so be sure to check it out.
+
+Basically: run `xb format` before you add a commit and you won't have a problem.
+
+## Clean Git History
+
+Tools such as `git bisect` are used on the repository regularly to check for and
+identify regressions. Such tools require a clean git history to function
+properly. Incoming pull requests must follow good git rules, the most basic of
+which is that individual commits add functionality in somewhat working form and
+fully compile and run on their own. Small pull requests with a single commit are
+best, however multiple commits in a pull request are allowed only if they are
+kept clean. If not, you will be asked to rebase them (and if you don't know what
+that means, avoid getting into that situation ;).
+
+Example of a bad commit history:
+
+* Adding audio callback, random file loading, networking, etc. (+2000 lines)
+* Whoops.
+* Fixing build break.
+* Fixing lint errors.
+* Adding audio callback, second attempt.
+* ...
+
+Histories like this make it extremely difficult to check out any individual
+commit and know that the repository is in a good state. Rebasing,
+cherry-picking, or splitting your commits into separate branches will help keep
+things clean and easy.
+
+# License
+
+All xenia code is licensed under the 3-clause BSD license as detailed in
+[LICENSE](LICENSE). Code under `third_party/` is licensed under its original
+license.
+
+Incoming code in pull requests are subject to the xenia [LICENSE](LICENSE).
+Once code comes into the codebase it is very difficult to ever fully remove so
+copyright is ascribed to the project to prevent future disputes such as what
+occurred in [Dolphin](https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2015/05/25/relicensing-dolphin/).
+That said: xenia will never be sold, never be made closed source, and never
+change to a fundamentally incompatible license.
+
+Any `third_party/` code added will be reviewed for conformance with the license.
+In general, GPL code is forbidden unless it is used exclusively for
+development-time tooling (like compiling). LGPL code is strongly discouraged as
+it complicates building. Unless extremely trivial (such as )

+### Why?
+
+To quote the [Google Style Guide](http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/cppguide.xml):
+
+```
+One way in which we keep the code base manageable is by enforcing consistency.
+It is very important that any programmer be able to look at another's code and
+quickly understand it. Maintaining a uniform style and following conventions
+means that we can more easily use "pattern-matching" to infer what various
+symbols are and what invariants are true about them. Creating common, required
+idioms and patterns makes code much easier to understand. In some cases there
+might be good arguments for changing certain style rules, but we nonetheless
+keep things as they are in order to preserve consistency.
+```
+
+## Buildbot Verification
+
 The buildbot runs `xb lint --all` on the master branch, and will run
 `xb lint --origin` on pull requests. Run `xb format` before you commit each
 local change so that you are consistently clean, otherwise you may have to
 rebase. If you forget, run `xb format --origin` and rebase your changes (so you
 don't end up with 5 changes and then a 6th 'whoops' one - that's nasty).

+The buildbot is running LLVM 3.8.0. If you are noticing style differences
 between your local lint/format and the buildbot, ensure you are running that
