+# (NOT) Contributing snippets
+
+Please **do not** open pull requests or ask me to add snippets to
+yasnippet.
+
+The bundled collection under `/snippets` is considered frozen: **I
+will not add more snippets to it**.
+
+You can point `yas/snippet-dirs` to good snippet collections out
+there. If you have created snippets for a mode, or multiple modes,
+consider creating a repository to host them, then tell users that it
+should be added like this to `yas/snippet-dirs`:
+
+ (setq yas/snippet-dirs
+ '("~/.emacs.d/snippets" ;; personal snippets
+ "/path/to/some/collection/" ;; just some foo-mode snippets
+ "/path/to/some/othercollection/" ;; some more foo-mode and a complete baz-mode
+ "/path/to/yasnippet/snippets" ;; the default collection
+ ))
+
+ (yas/global-mode 1) ;; or M-x yas/reload-all if you've started yasnippet already.
