+## First Time Contributors
+
+First time contributors should read through this guide in its entirety before
+opening a pull request. Additionally, pull requests from external (and
+especially first time) contributors that make inconsequential changes may be
+closed without merging at the discretion of Agave maintainers. Pull requests
+will be deemed consequential or not on a case by case basis. As an example,
+spelling and/or grammar fixes will almost always be considered inconsequential,
+unless they materially correct the message.
