+We use the `#testcontainers-c` channel on [Testcontainers Slack](http://slack.testcontainers.org/).
+Please join this channel if you want to discuss contributions/strategy/whatever.
+GitHub Issues are recommended for most of the proposals and bug reports though.

+No need to create a GitHub issue if you want to suggest a simple patch,
+pull requests are more than enough for it.

 ## Codestyle
 
 ### Public APIs
 
-- Snake Case is used to name methods
+- `snake_case` is used to name methods
 - `tc_` is used as a prefix for all exported Testcontainers functions
+- When possible, we try to avoid special Golang types in public API and try to expose wrapper types
+- `const` is important for users, and please add it to your arguments when possible.
+  There is no Const in Golang, so some `typedef` injection is needed when importing CGo

 > **WARNING**: This is a prototype.
 > There is a lot to do before it can be distributed and used in production,

 > The plan is to provide vcpkg and Conan packages, now it is an importable CMake project.
 > A feasible level of feature parity with Testcontainers Go is needed too,
 > hence a lot of wrapper coding.

 This is not a standalone [Testcontainers](https://testcontainers.org/) engine,
 but a C-style shared library adapter for native languages like C/C++, D, Lua, Swift, etc.
