-# Introduction
-Thanks to all who have landed on this page with the intent of contributing to the apprise library.  Any changes you make are going to easily make it upstream as long as there is there are:
-* **Unit tests**: apprise is currently sitting at 100% test coverage.  The goal is to keep it this way! :slightly_smiling_face: 
-* **PEP8 Compliance**: Following the [PEP 8 Style Guide for Python](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) is a must.  Most editors have PEP8 plugins and allow you to keep everything compliant as you go.
