+## How to setup to develop
+To get started clone all json-schema-form library repos into sibling folders.
+  json-schema-form-core
+  angular-schema-form
+  angular-schema-form-bootstrap
+  angular-schema-form-material
+
+Once cloned each repo has npm commands for assisting development
+```bash
+# Run unit tests
+npm run test
+
+# Run the build
+npm run build
+
+# Run the build and minify
+npm run dist # not in json-schema-form-core
+
+# Run the build and watch for changes
+npm run watch
+```
+
+<a name="build"></a>
+## How to build the package
+When working on `angular-schema-form` running the `npm build` will look for a sibling
+folder when importing `json-schema-form-core`. This allows you to work on bugs or
+issues that require work on both libraries simultaneously.
+
+This is set up for bootstrap and material design decorators also.
+
+The bootstrap repo is required to build `angular-schema-form` with the bootstrap
+decorator bundle distribution.
+
+<a name="work"></a>
+## Working on the libraries
+When I work on the libraries I use a multi-tab console tool like
+Terminator (Linux) or ConEmu (Windows)
+
+Run each of the following in a separate tab:
+```bash
+json-schema-form-core> npm run watch
+json-schema-form-core> npm run test
+angular-schema-form> npm run watch
+angular-schema-form> npm run test
+```
+This will re-compile all the libraries after changes that affect them which
+then runs the related tests.
+
+A static file web server is required to run the examples, but the example
+can be used to run saved gist of the example app. It can help to add a model
+to one of the example app json files to test with.

+## PR requirements
+We love contributions!
+
+**Please base any merge request on the _development_ branch instead of _master_.**
+
+The reason for this is that we're trying to use
+[git flow](http://danielkummer.github.io/git-flow-cheatsheet/), and it makes merging your pull
+request a heck of a lot easier for us.
+
+Please **avoid including anything from the `dist/`** directory as that can make merging harder, and we
+always generate these files when we make a new release.
+
+**If you are using this library with another repo other than *ASF* it must still maintain compatibility 
+with *ASF* which is why the instructions for *ASF* are above**, eventually there will be enough test 
+cases that you wont need to test both, but we aren't there yet.
+
+**The bootstrap decorator, has been moved to it's own repo. It's here [github.com/json-schema-form/angular-schema-form-bootstrap](https://github.com/json-schema-form/angular-schema-form-bootstrap)**
+
+Feel free to submit issues on the main repo anyway though.
+
+If its a new field type consider making it an add-on instead,
+especially if it has external dependencies. See [extending Schema Form documentation.](docs/extending.md)
+
+With new features we love to see updates to the docs as well as tests, that makes it super
+easy and fast for us to merge it!
+
+Also consider running any code through the code style checker [jscs](https://github.com/mdevils/node-jscs)
+(or even better use it in your editor) with preset set to `google`. You can also
+use `gulp jscs` to check your code. I hope to set up ESLint in the not too distant future.
