+# Contributing Guidelines
+
+Anyone is welcome to make PRs for editorial changes to the specification. These include typo fixes, rewordings, or any other changes that don't affect the meaning of the spec.
+
+To submit normative changes, however, you will need to be a WinterTC delegate or invited expert. [See here for more information.](https://github.com/WinterTC55/?view_as=public#joining-the-committee)
+
+## Building the spec
+
+WinterTC specifications are developed using [Bikeshed](https://speced.github.io/bikeshed).
+
+If you have Python 3.9 or higher on your system, you can install Bikeshed with:
+
+```sh
+pip3 install bikeshed
+```
+
+For other ways of installing it, [see the Bikeshed documentation](https://speced.github.io/bikeshed/#installing).
+
+Then, you can build the specification using:
+
+```sh
+bikeshed spec index.bs index.html
+```
+
+You might also find the `bikeshed watch` and `bikeshed serve` commands useful.
