+# Contributing to Pika Backup
+
+Contributions of all kind and with all levels of experience are very welcome. Please note that the [GNOME Code of Conduct](https://wiki.gnome.org/Foundation/CodeOfConduct) applies to this project.
+
+## Peculiarities
+
+Binding to objects defined in `.ui`-files are auto generated via
+
+```
+./build-aux/generate_ui_bindings.py
+```
+
+You have to execute this script after adding, changing or removing ids from `.ui`-files. The bindings can be found in `src/ui/builder.rs`. Using only those bindings allows to catch all errors in accessing builder elements on compile time.
