-so all feature requests will be first aligned with what we need for Presentator v3.
+PRs for _small features_ (eg. adding new OAuth2 providers), bug and documentation fixes, etc. are more than welcome.
+
+But please refrain creating PRs for _big features_ without previously discussing the implementation details. Reviewing big PRs often requires a lot of time and tedious back-and-forth communication.
+PocketBase has a [roadmap](https://github.com/orgs/pocketbase/projects/2)
+and I try to work on issues in a specific order and such PRs often come in out of nowhere and skew all initial planning.
+
+Don't get upset if I close your PR, even if it is well executed and tested. This doesn't mean that it will never be merged.
+Later we can always refer to it and/or take pieces of your implementation when the time comes to work on the issue (don't worry you'll be credited in the release notes).
