 # Contributing
 
-Welcome to Nushell!
+Welcome to Nushell and thank you for considering contributing!
 
-To get live support from the community see our [Discord](https://discordapp.com/invite/NtAbbGn), [Twitter](https://twitter.com/nu_shell) or file an issue or feature request here on [GitHub](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/new/choose)!
+## Review Process
+
+First of all, before diving into the code, if you want to create a new feature, change something significantly, and especially if the change is user-facing, it is a good practice to first get an approval from the core team before starting to work on it.
+This saves both your and our time if we realize the change needs to go another direction before spending time on it.
+So, please, reach out and tell us what you want to do.
+This will significantly increase the chance of your PR being accepted.
+
+The review process can be summarized as follows:
+1. You want to make some change to Nushell that is more involved than simple bug-fixing.
+2. Go to [Discord](https://discordapp.com/invite/NtAbbGn) or a [GitHub issue](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/new/choose) and chat with some core team members and/or other contributors about it.
+3. After getting a green light from the core team, implement the feature, open a pull request (PR) and write a concise but comprehensive description of the change.
+4. If your PR includes any use-facing features (such as adding a flag to a command), clearly list them in the PR description.
+5. Then, core team members and other regular contributors will review the PR and suggest changes.
+6. When we all agree, the PR will be merged.
+7. If your PR includes any user-facing features, make sure the changes are also reflected in [the documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the PR is merged.
+8. Congratulate yourself, you just improved Nushell! :-)

--   Commands that filter a stream (eg, `where type == "dir"`)
