-### Adding Solutions to Existing Notebooks
+### GitHub Pull Requests Docs
-If adding new solutions to existing notebooks:
-* Append your algorithm and code solution rather than replace a fellow contributor's work
+If you are not familiar with pull requests, review the [pull request docs](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/).

+### Adding New Solutions to Existing Challenges
+
+Challenges have multiple solutions. If adding new solutions to existing challenges:
+* Add your algorithm discusion and code solution to the existing notebook
+* Update the unit test to include your solution
* Verify your code passes the unit tests
### Adding New Challenges
-There are several sample coding challenges that are not yet implemented such as the examples below.
-* These challenges are merely suggestions; feel free to send pull requests on different challenges, or even entire categories of challenges
+The README contains several sample challenges that are not yet implemented.
+* The sample challenges are only suggestions, please do not limit yourself to only these topics
+* Feel free to send pull requests on different challenges or categories of challenges
* Try to keep the "Challenge" title relatively short and expand on the details within the notebook
+* Review the [Repo Structure](https://github.com/donnemartin/coding-challenges#repo-structure) and [Notebook Structure](https://github.com/donnemartin/coding-challenges#notebook-structure) sections
* Check out the [template challenge and solution notebooks](https://github.com/donnemartin/coding-challenges/templates/) to help you get started

+### Update Notebook Author(s)
+
+When contributing to a notebook, update the notebook author(s):
+
+This notebook was prepared by [Joe](https://github.com/Joe) and [Jane](https://github.com/Jane). Source and license info is on [GitHub](https://github.com/donnemartin/coding-challenges).
+
+### Maintain Consistent Style
+
+Please refer to the style of existing notebooks to help maintain consistency. A consistently themed collection of notebooks will help users more seamlessly transition from challenge to challenge.
+
+Review [PEP-8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/) and the following [style guide](https://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/pyguide.html).

### Contributions in Languages Other than Python
Feel free to share your thoughts on how we could best approach adding challenges in other [supported languages](https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/IPython-kernels-for-other-languages):
* Repo structure
-* README static notebook links
+* README challenge list
* Installation instructions
* Etc
