+# Open Source Collaborative Workflow
+
+The `master` branch always contain the latest stable version.  The `development` branch is used for most development efforts.
+
+[GitFlow](https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) will be used as the workflow for this collaborative project.  To contribute, follow this process:
+
+1. Fork this repository
+2. Create a branch using standard GitFlow branch prefixes (feature/hotfix/bugfix) followed by a descriptive name.
+    - Example: `feature/add-awesomeness`,`bugfix/wow-im-dumb` or `hotfix/really-big-oops`
+    - When working on a new feature or bugfix, branch from the `development` branch.  When working on a hotfix, branch from `master`.
+3. Make commits as necessary (often is better). And use concise, descriptive language, leveraging issue notation and/or [Closing Keywords](https://help.github.com/articles/closing-issues-using-keywords) to ensure any issues addressed by your work are referenced accordingly.
+3. When the scope of the work for your branch is complete, make sure to rebase your branch in case further progress has been made since the repo was forked
+4. Create a Pull Request to pull your branch into the appropriate branch in the main repository.
+5. Your Pull Request will be reviewed by our team and evaluated for inclusion into the main repository.
