 We have developed some [guidelines](CONTRIBUTING.rst) for contributing to yt.
 
+**Imposter syndrome disclaimer**: We want your help. No, really.
+
+There may be a little voice inside your head that is telling you that you're not
+ready to be an open source contributor; that your skills aren't nearly good
+enough to contribute. What could you possibly offer a project like this one?
+
+We assure you - the little voice in your head is wrong. If you can write code at
+all, you can contribute code to open source. Contributing to open source
+projects is a fantastic way to advance one's coding skills. Writing perfect code
+isn't the measure of a good developer (that would disqualify all of us!); it's
+trying to create something, making mistakes, and learning from those
+mistakes. That's how we all improve, and we are happy to help others learn.
+
+Being an open source contributor doesn't just mean writing code, either. You can
+help out by writing documentation, tests, or even giving feedback about the
+project (and yes - that includes giving feedback about the contribution
+process). Some of these contributions may be the most valuable to the project as
+a whole, because you're coming to the project with fresh eyes, so you can see
+the errors and assumptions that seasoned contributors have glossed over.

 We have some community and documentation resources available.
