 Finding something to do
-#######################
+=======================
 
 If you already know what you'd like to work on, you can skip this section.
 
 If you have an idea for something to do, first check if it's already been filed on the `issue tracker`_. If so, add a comment to the issue saying you'd like to work on it, and we'll help you get started! Otherwise, please file a new issue and assign yourself to it.
 
-Another great way to start contributing is by writing tests. Tests are really important because they help prevent developers from accidentally breaking existing code, allowing them to build cool things faster. If you're interested in helping out, let the development team know by posting to the `developers' mailing list`_, and we'll help you get started.

 Instructions for making a code change
-#####################################
+=====================================
 
 The central development branch is ``master``, which should be clean and ready for release at any time. In general, all changes should be done as feature branches based off of ``master``.
 
+If you want to do solely documentation changes, base them and PR to the branch ``doc-fixes``. This branch also has its own `RTD build`_.
+
 Here's how to make a one-off code change.
 
 1. **Choose a descriptive branch name.** It should be lowercase, hyphen-separated, and a noun describing the change (so, ``fuzzy-rules``, but not ``implement-fuzzy-rules``). Also, it shouldn't start with ``hotfix`` or ``release``.

 3. **Make a commit to your feature branch**. Each commit should be self-contained and have a descriptive commit message that helps other developers understand why the changes were made.
+   We also have a check-list for PRs `below`_.
 
    - You can refer to relevant issues in the commit message by writing, e.g., "#105".
 
    - Your code should adhere to the `PEP 8 Style Guide`_, with the exception that we have a maximum line length of 99.
-   
-   - Document your code. This project uses `sphinx`_ to generate static HTML docs. To build them, first make sure you have the required dependencies:
 
-     .. code-block:: bash
+   - Provide static typing with signature annotations. The documentation of `MyPy`_ will be a good start, the cheat sheet is `here`_. We also have some custom type aliases in ``telegram._utils.types``.
 
-        $ pip install -r docs/requirements-docs.txt
+   - Document your code. This step is pretty important to us, so it has its own `section`_.
 
-     then run the following from the PTB root directory:
-   
-     .. code-block:: bash
-         
-        $ make -C docs html

-     Once the process terminates, you can view the built documentation by opening ``docs/build/html/index.html`` with a browser.

If you'd like to leverage that, please have a look at the `pre-commit config file`_ for an overview of which tools (and which versions of them) are used. For example, we use `Black`_ for code formatting. Plugins for Black exist for some `popular editors`_. You can use those instead of manually formatting everything.

+
+Documenting
+===========
+
+The documentation of this project is separated in two sections: User facing and dev facing.
+
+User facing docs are hosted at `RTD`_. They are the main way the users of our library are supposed to get information about the objects. They don't care about the internals, they just want to know
+what they have to pass to make it work, what it actually does. You can/should provide examples for non obvious cases (like the Filter module), and notes/warnings.
+
+Dev facing, on the other side, is for the devs/maintainers of this project. These
+doc strings don't have a separate documentation site they generate, instead, they document the actual code.
+
+User facing documentation
+-------------------------
+We use `sphinx`_ to generate static HTML docs. To build them, first make sure you're running Python 3.10 or above and have the required dependencies installed as explained above.
+Then, run the following from the PTB root directory:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   $ make -C docs html
+
+or, if you don't have ``make`` available (e.g. on Windows):
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   $ sphinx-build docs/source docs/build/html
+
+Once the process terminates, you can view the built documentation by opening ``docs/build/html/index.html`` with a browser.
+
+- Add ``.. versionadded:: NEXT.VERSION``, ``.. versionchanged:: NEXT.VERSION`` or ``.. deprecated:: NEXT.VERSION`` to the associated documentation of your changes, depending on what kind of change you made. This only applies if the change you made is visible to an end user. The directives should be added to class/method descriptions if their general behaviour changed and to the description of all arguments & attributes that changed.
+
+Dev facing documentation
+------------------------
+We adhere to the `CSI`_ standard. This documentation is not fully implemented in the project, yet, but new code changes should comply with the `CSI` standard.
+The idea behind this is to make it very easy for you/a random maintainer or even a totally foreign person to drop anywhere into the code and more or less immediately understand what a particular line does. This will make it easier
+for new to make relevant changes if said lines don't do what they are supposed to.

+        Hey there, you have a question? We are happy to answer. Please make sure no similar question was opened already.
+
+        To make it easier for us to help you, please read this [article](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Ask-Right).
+
+        Please mind that there is also a users' [Telegram group](https://t.me/pythontelegrambotgroup) for questions about the library. Questions asked there might be answered quicker than here. Moreover, [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/discussions) offer a slightly better format to discuss usage questions.
+        
+        If you have asked the same question elsewhere (e.g. the [Telegram group](https://t.me/pythontelegrambotgroup) or [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/python-telegram-bot)), provide a link to that thread.

+Verifying Releases
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-===============
-Getting started
-===============
+To enable you to verify that a release file that you downloaded was indeed provided by the ``python-telegram-bot`` team, we have taken the following measures.
 
-Our Wiki contains a lot of resources to get you started with ``python-telegram-bot``:
+Starting with v21.4, all releases are signed via `sigstore <https://www.sigstore.dev>`_.
+The corresponding signature files are uploaded to the `GitHub releases page`_.
+To verify the signature, please install the `sigstore Python client <https://pypi.org/project/sigstore/>`_ and follow the instructions for `verifying signatures from GitHub Actions <https://github.com/sigstore/sigstore-python?tab=readme-ov-file>`_. As input for the ``--repository`` parameter, please use the value ``python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot``.
 
-- `Introduction to the API <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Introduction-to-the-API>`_
-- Tutorial: `Your first Bot <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Extensions-%E2%80%93-Your-first-Bot>`_
+Earlier releases are signed with a GPG key.
+The signatures are uploaded to both the `GitHub releases page`_ and the `PyPI project <https://pypi.org/project/python-telegram-bot/>`_ and end with a suffix ``.asc``.
+Please find the public keys `here <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/tree/master/public_keys>`_.
+The keys are named in the format ``<first_version>-<last_version>.gpg``.
 
-Other references:
+In addition, the GitHub release page also contains the sha1 hashes of the release files in the files with the suffix ``.sha1``.

+Dependencies & Their Versions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
--------------------
-Learning by example
--------------------
+``python-telegram-bot`` tries to use as few 3rd party dependencies as possible.
+However, for some features using a 3rd party library is more sane than implementing the functionality again.
+As these features are *optional*, the corresponding 3rd party dependencies are not installed by default.
+Instead, they are listed as optional dependencies.
+This allows to avoid unnecessary dependency conflicts for users who don't need the optional features.
 
-We believe that the best way to learn and understand this simple package is by example. So here
-are some examples for you to review. Even if it's not your approach for learning, please take a
-look at ``echobot2``, it is de facto the base for most of the bots out there. Best of all,
-the code for these examples are released to the public domain, so you can start by grabbing the
-code and building on top of it.
+The only required dependency is `httpx >=0.27,<0.29 <https://www.python-httpx.org>`_ for
+``telegram.request.HTTPXRequest``, the default networking backend.
 
-Visit `this page <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/blob/master/examples/README.md>`_ to discover the official examples or look at the examples on the `wiki <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Examples>`_ to see other bots the community has built.
+``python-telegram-bot`` is most useful when used along with additional libraries.
+To minimize dependency conflicts, we try to be liberal in terms of version requirements on the (optional) dependencies.
+On the other hand, we have to ensure stability of ``python-telegram-bot``, which is why we do apply version bounds.
+If you encounter dependency conflicts due to these bounds, feel free to reach out.

-Logging
--------
+Optional Dependencies
+#####################
 
-This library uses the ``logging`` module. To set up logging to standard output, put:
+PTB can be installed with optional dependencies:
 
-.. code:: python
+* ``pip install "python-telegram-bot[passport]"`` installs the `cryptography>=39.0.1 <https://cryptography.io/en/stable>`_ library. Use this, if you want to use Telegram Passport related functionality.
+* ``pip install "python-telegram-bot[socks]"`` installs `httpx[socks] <https://www.python-httpx.org/#dependencies>`_. Use this, if you want to work behind a Socks5 server.
+* ``pip install "python-telegram-bot[http2]"`` installs `httpx[http2] <https://www.python-httpx.org/#dependencies>`_. Use this, if you want to use HTTP/2.
+* ``pip install "python-telegram-bot[rate-limiter]"`` installs `aiolimiter~=1.1,<1.3 <https://aiolimiter.readthedocs.io/en/stable/>`_. Use this, if you want to use ``telegram.ext.AIORateLimiter``.
+* ``pip install "python-telegram-bot[webhooks]"`` installs the `tornado~=6.4 <https://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/>`_ library. Use this, if you want to use ``telegram.ext.Updater.start_webhook``/``telegram.ext.Application.run_webhook``.
+* ``pip install "python-telegram-bot[callback-data]"`` installs the `cachetools>=5.3.3,<6.2.0 <https://cachetools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`_ library. Use this, if you want to use `arbitrary callback_data <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Arbitrary-callback_data>`_.
+* ``pip install "python-telegram-bot[job-queue]"`` installs the `APScheduler>=3.10.4,<3.12.0 <https://apscheduler.readthedocs.io/en/3.x/>`_ library. Use this, if you want to use the ``telegram.ext.JobQueue``.
 
-    import logging
-    logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG,
-                        format='%(asctime)s - %(name)s - %(levelname)s - %(message)s')
+To install multiple optional dependencies, separate them by commas, e.g. ``pip install "python-telegram-bot[socks,webhooks]"``.
 
-at the beginning of your script.
+Additionally, two shortcuts are provided:
 
-You can also use logs in your application by calling ``logging.getLogger()`` and setting the log level you want:
+* ``pip install "python-telegram-bot[all]"`` installs all optional dependencies.
+* ``pip install "python-telegram-bot[ext]"`` installs all optional dependencies that are related to ``telegram.ext``, i.e. ``[rate-limiter, webhooks, callback-data, job-queue]``.
 
-.. code:: python
+Working with PTB
+----------------
 
-    logger = logging.getLogger()
-    logger.setLevel(logging.INFO)
+Once you have installed the library, you can begin working with it - so let's get started!
 
-If you want DEBUG logs instead:
+Quick Start
+~~~~~~~~~~~
 
-.. code:: python
+Our Wiki contains an `Introduction to the API <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Introduction-to-the-API>`_ explaining how the pure Bot API can be accessed via ``python-telegram-bot``.
+Moreover, the `Tutorial: Your first Bot <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/Extensions---Your-first-Bot>`_ gives an introduction on how chatbots can be easily programmed with the help of the ``telegram.ext`` module.
 
-    logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
+Resources
+~~~~~~~~~
 
+- The `package documentation <https://docs.python-telegram-bot.org/>`_ is the technical reference for ``python-telegram-bot``.
+  It contains descriptions of all available classes, modules, methods and arguments as well as the `changelog <https://docs.python-telegram-bot.org/changelog.html>`_.
+- The `wiki <https://github.com/python-telegram-bot/python-telegram-bot/wiki/>`_ is home to number of more elaborate introductions of the different features of ``python-telegram-bot`` and other useful resources that go beyond the technical documentation.
+- Our `examples section <https://docs.python-telegram-bot.org/examples.html>`_ contains several examples that showcase the different features of both the Bot API and ``python-telegram-bot``.
+  Even if it is not your approach for learning, please take a look at ``echobot.py``. It is the de facto base for most of the bots out there.
+  The code for these examples is released to the public domain, so you can start by grabbing the code and building on top of it.
+- The `official Telegram Bot API documentation <https://core.telegram.org/bots/api>`_ is of course always worth a read.

+Concurrency
+~~~~~~~~~~~
 
+Since v20.0, ``python-telegram-bot`` is built on top of Pythons ``asyncio`` module.
+Because ``asyncio`` is in general single-threaded, ``python-telegram-bot`` does currently not aim to be thread-safe.
+Noteworthy parts of ``python-telegram-bots`` API that are likely to cause issues (e.g. race conditions) when used in a multi-threaded setting include:
+
+* ``telegram.ext.Application/Updater.update_queue``
+* ``telegram.ext.ConversationHandler.check/handle_update``
+* ``telegram.ext.CallbackDataCache``
+* ``telegram.ext.BasePersistence``
+* all classes in the ``telegram.ext.filters`` module that allow to add/remove allowed users/chats at runtime
