+=======
+
+Thanks for thinking about contributing to scrapli! Contributions are not expected, but are quite welcome.
+
+Contributions of all kinds are welcomed -- typos, doc updates, adding examples, bug fixes, and feature adds
+
+
+Some notes on contributing:
+
+- Please open an issue to discuss any bug fixes, feature adds, or really any thing that could result in a pull
+ request. This allows us to all be on the same page, and could save everyone some extra work!
+- Once we've discussed any changes, pull requests are of course welcome and very much appreciated!
+  - All PRs should pass tests -- checkout the Makefile for some shortcuts for linting/testing
+  - Please include tests! Even simple/basic tests are better than nothing -- it helps make sure changes in the future
+   don't break functionality or make things act in unexpected ways!
+- If doing any significant work on scrapli -- particularly on channel, transport, or drivers, take some time to get
+ familiar with, vrnetlab. All functional tests -- in order to allow everyone to test functional things in a
+  consistent fashion -- rely on vrnetlab!

+# Security Policies and Procedures
+
+
+## Disclosure Policy
+
+Please open an issue to identify any bugs or security vulnerabilities in scrapli. There is a bug report issue template
+ that you can fill out that will help get things rolling!
+
+
+## Update Policy
+
+We will do our best to make any necessary updates to keep scrapli secure, if there is a known issue/gap, this
+ document will outline the issue and affected version(s) of scrapli. 
+
+
+## Security Related Configurations
+
+Scrapli provides telnet connectivity which is of course insecure, so don't use telnet if you are worried about
+ security issues! Beyond that, scrapli allows for -- and defaults to -- strict SSH host key checking (though this can
+  be disabled). Strict host key checking can be disabled though, so if that worries you, don't do that! Scrapli does
+   not store any credential information, however of course username/password/etc. is stored in memory when using
+    scrapli. 
+
+## Known Security Gaps/Issues
+
+At the moment there are no known security gaps/issues. In the future we will try to update this document with any
+ issues and what version of scrapli and any dependencies are affected, however this will all be best effort, and
+  there is are no guarantees/assurance that scrapli is secure; though of course effort is invested to try to make it
+   as secure as possible!
