+CONTRIBUTING GUIDELINES FOR TTBP
+================================
+
+Hi! Thanks for your interest in working on this project with me!
+
+Please understand that this may not be a beginner-friendly project to contribute
+to; this is because I am not a very experienced developer, and I'm still
+learning good practices for facilitating collaborative dev work. I'm open to
+receiving feedback and discussion even if you're new to writing Python,
+programming, or collaborative work in general, but I'd appreciate some extra
+patience and slack.
