+Contribution Suggestions
+------------------------
+
+ * If you find any inaccuracies in the documentation, please correct them!
+
+ * If you find an inaccuracy but don't know how to correct, you can still help
+   by documenting the inaccuracy. For example, if you have *thoroughly* tested
+   a set of steps in the documentation and know *for certain* that they no
+   longer work on a certain version of Qubes (e.g., because the steps are
+   out-of-date), then please add a note to the documentation indicating this.
+   You may also wish to provide a link to a relevant thread on the [mailing
+   lists].
+
+ * Where appropriate, specify the version of the software to which your
+   contribution applies. For example, if you're contributing a set of
+   instructions for doing something in dom0, specify the version(s) of Qubes OS
+   with which you know these instructions to work. This allows future readers to
+   more easily estimate the accuracy and applicability of information.
