+# Nix Bundlers
+
+Bundlers are a way to transform derivations. The most common and default usage is based on the [original by matthewbauer](https://github.com/matthewbauer/nix-bundle). Each bundler is function over a value (usually a derivation) that produces another derivation.
+
+```
+```console
+$ nix bundle --bundler github:NixOS/bundlers nixpkgs#hello
+```
+
+# How to contribute
+
+Main purpose of this repository is to collect most common bundlers to *make
+common use-cases easy*. For this purpose the collection of bundlers is limited
+to provided an opinionated and curated list.
+
+TODO: bundlers should be also discoverable on search.nixos.org
+
+## Opening issues
+
+* Make sure you have a [GitHub account](https://github.com/signup/free)
+* Make sure there is no open issue on the topic

+
+## What is required to submit a bundler?
+
+Note: This section is a WIP
+
+Each bundler needs:
+
+- `name`
+
+  Folder with the same name should be created and this is a location of the
+  bundler. An entry with `name` is requred in `flake.nix`.
+
+- `description`
+
+  A description that explains the content of the bundler in one sentence. An
+  entry with `description` is requred in `flake.nix`.
+
+- `maintainers`
+
+  Each bundler needs one of more maintainers with the knowledge of specific
+  area. Each bundler has an entry in `.github/CODEOWNERS` with maintainers
+  next to them.
