+## Contributing to this repository
+If you have a paper or presentation using IDAES-PSE (or funded by IDAES),
+it would be nice to contribute the code to this repository so that others
+may reproduce your results and use them in their own studies.
+This does not necessitate testing, readability, code review, future
+maintenance, or any other standards for contributing code to the IDAES-PSE
+or Examples-PSE repositories.
+The requirements for a contribution to this repository are:
+1. Code is contained in a subdirectory named to uniquely
+correspond to the paper whose results it produces. The format
+`name_venueYEAR/` is suggested.
+2. The version of all (Python package) dependencies is included.
+This may be in a `requirements.txt` file or a README file.
+Non-Python dependencies (for instance, your paper compares standard
+power network optimization solves between two solvers, one in Julia,
+one in Python) will be handled on a case-by-case basis.
+3. The code runs. We will generally take your word on this, although
+we reserve the right to postpone merging pull requests if we find
+the code to not work on anybody else's local machine.
+Optionally, you may structure your code its own Python package with
+a small `setup.py` to make it easier for others to import and experiment
+with your code.
