+As an open source project, fluent is open for anyone to use, fork, modify, or contribute back to.

+[leave an issue](https://github.com/tractorcow-farm/silverstripe-fluent/issues), or you could
+try your hand at fixing this via [a pull request](https://github.com/tractorcow-farm/silverstripe-fluent/pulls).
+
+Localisations can be submitted to [transifex](https://www.transifex.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-fluent/dashboard/).

+# Becoming a maintainer
+
+If you are someone who has a history of good contributing to Fluent (or really any module
+in the tractorcow vendor), we'd probably love to have you as a maintainer. This would give
+you write access, the ability to review the work of others' in the community, and get more of
+a say in the general development of the module.
+
+If you meet the following criteria and would like to apply, feel free to either [contact me directly](https://github.com/tractorcow)
+or leave an issue requesting access:
+
+ - Have contributed to Fluent in the past (not necessarily via code)
+ - Show quality of work / character (or mix thereof)
+ - Have been around long enough to make yourself familiar
