+* **Ensure the bug was not already reported** by searching on GitHub under [Issues](https://github.com/mp-se/gravitymon/issues). Dont forget to look under closed issues. There might be a fix but not yet included in the released version.
+
+* If you're unable to find an open issue addressing the problem, [open a new one](https://github.com/mp-se/gravitymon/issues/new). Be sure to include a **title and clear description**, as much relevant information as possible, Use the function on the device to extract configuration and device information (does not contain any sensitive data). This can help to pinpoint the issue.

 Contributing
+############
+
+Anyone is welcome to contribute to this project or create their own variant of it. I would appreciate a PR if your feature would be of benefit other users. 
+
+In order to keep the source code in good condition I use `pre-commit <https://pre-commit.com/>`_ to validate and format the code using their standards for C++/C. 
+
+If you are using Windows as a base platform I would suggest that you install pre-commit under wsl (Windows Subssytem for Windows) and run it from there, I have found that this approach works fine.
+
+Design goals
 ------------
 
-This section is under construction.
+My goals with this software has been the following:
 
+* Create an open software for the excellent iSpindle hardware platform that is open and available for anyone. 
+* Add user requested features that have not made it into the iSpindle project. 
+* Focus on long battery life and stability.
+* Explore new technologies and create the next generation gravity monitoring for home brewers. 
+
+I will do my best to assist users and respond to new features, pr and suggestions. But keep in mind I'm doing this on my spare time. 
+
+Regards, Magnus
