     <h2>Guide to making dygraphs changes</h2>
 
     <p>So you've made a change to dygraphs and would like to contribute it back

+    to the open source project. Wonderful!</p>
+    
+    <p>This is a step-by-step guide explaining how to do it.</p>
+
+    <h3>dygraphs style</h3>
+    <p>First of all, please try to follow the style of the existing dygraphs
+    code. This will make the review process go much more smoothly.<p>
+
+    <p>A few salient points:</p>
+    <ol>
+      <li> I try to adhere to Google's <a
+        href="http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/javascriptguide.xml">
+        JS style guide</a> and would appreciate it if you try to as well. This
+      means:
+      <ul>
+        <li>No tabs! Indent using two spaces.
+        <li>Use camelCase for variable and function names.
+        <li>Limit lines to 80 characters.
+      </ul>
+
+      <li>Please run 'lint.sh' to see if you've introduced any new violations.
+
+      <li>If you've added a new feature, add a test for it (in the tests/
+      directory) or a gallery entry.
+
+      <li>If you've added an option, document it in
+      dygraph-options-reference.js. You'll get lots of warnings if you don't.
+
+      <li>If you've fixed a bug or added a feature, add an auto_test for
+      it.<br/>
+      This ensures that we won't inadvertently break your feature in the
+      future. To do this, either add to an existing auto_test in
+      auto_tests/tests or run "auto_tests/misc/new-test.sh your-test-name" to
+      create a new one. You can run your auto_test in any browser by visiting
+      auto_tests/misc/local.html.
+    </ol>
+
+    <h3>Sending a Pull Request</h3>
+
+    <p>dygraphs is hosted on github, which uses a "pull request" model. They
+    have a good writeup <a
+      href="http://help.github.com/send-pull-requests/">here</a>. These
+    instructions discuss dygraphs more specifically.</p>
 
     <p>The list of steps may look a bit daunting, but it's not too bad,
     especially if you have any familiarity with git or github. If you run into
