+# How to contribute
+
+Thank you for considering contributing to the WRF-CMake project. Please note that the aim of WRF-CMake is to bring CMake support to WRF and WPS therefore, any contributions made to this project should only consist of changes/fixes to issues related to building WRF or WPS with CMake support, pre-built binaries, Homebrew/Linuxbrew support, and Continuous Integration (CI) and testing.
+
+For any issues/contributions related with the WRF or WPS model, please see the [WRF](https://github.com/wrf-model/WRF) and [WPS](https://github.com/wrf-model/WPS) repositories directly. For any question/issues with the model physics please refer to the [WRF/WRFDA/WRF-Chem/MPAS Users' Support Forum](http:https://forum.mmm.ucar.edu/phpBB3/).
+
+In general, you can contribute by reporting an issue or by directly contributing to the source code.

 ## Installation
 
-The installation of WRF-CMake or WPS-CMake is straightforward thanks to the downloadable pre-built binaries for most Linux distributions (specifically [ RPM-based and Debian-based distribution-compatible](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions)), macOS, and Windows (see [binary distribution](#binary-distribution-experimental) below) -- most users wishing to run WRF on their system can simply download the pre-compiled binaries without the need of building from source. Alternately, you can install WRF-CMake or WPS-CMake using the Homebrew/Linuxbrew package manager or by building and installing the software from source, please refer to the build and install [manually from source](#manually-from-source) and [Using Homebrew or Linuxbrew](using-homebrew-or-linuxbrew) section below.
