+## Dream Small
+
+While it may be tempting to thing of the most audacious improvement you could make to PostGIS, and try to tackle that, working on an open source project is a **collective endeavor**, and so the first thing you need to build is **not software**, it is **trust**.
+
+* Contributors with a history of constructive work with other members of the community get more of a hearing than folks with a grand plan.
+* The way to build up a history is to choose very small pieces of improvement, and move them through the process of acceptance.
+* Make small enhancements, to code and documentation, and get a feel for what improvements people are looking for.
+* Communicate your interest in contributing, and discuss your plans before investing a great deal of time, on the [postgis-devel](http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/postgis-devel) list.
+
+
+## Learn the Basics
+
+Before you can contribute anything, you need to able to build the software and documentation.
+
+* Consider installing PostGIS and its dependencies ([GDAL](https://gdal.org), [GEOS](https://libgeos.org), [Proj](https://proj.org)) from source. This will allow you to debug deeply into whatever you are working on.
+* Install the documentation dependencies too (docbook-xsl, xsltproc).
