 The project board can be accessed https://app.zenhub.com/workspaces/authorization-server-5e8f3182b5e8f5841bfc4902/board?repos=248032165[here].
 It is recommended to install the ZenHub https://www.zenhub.com/extension[browser extension] as it integrates natively within GitHub's user interface.
 
+== Getting Started
+The first place to start is to read the https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6749[OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework] to gain an in-depth understanding on how to build an Authorization Server.
+It is a critically important first step as the implementation must conform to the specification defined in the OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework and the https://github.com/spring-projects-experimental/spring-authorization-server/wiki/OAuth-2.0-Specifications[related specifications].
+
+The second place to start is to become very familiar with the codebase in the following Spring Security modules:
+
+- https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/tree/master/oauth2/oauth2-core[OAuth 2.0 Core]
+- https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/tree/master/oauth2/oauth2-client[OAuth 2.0 Client]
+- https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/tree/master/oauth2/oauth2-resource-server[OAuth 2.0 Resource Server]
+- https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-security/tree/master/oauth2/oauth2-jose[OAuth 2.0 JOSE] (Javascript Object Signing and Encryption)
+
+A significant amount of effort was put into developing the https://spring.io/blog/2018/01/30/next-generation-oauth-2-0-support-with-spring-security[Next Generation OAuth 2.0 Support in Spring Security].
+The goal is to leverage all the knowledge learned thus far and apply the same to the development of Spring Authorization Server.
+
+Submitted work via pull requests should follow the same coding style/conventions and adopt the same or similar design patterns that have been established in Spring Security's OAuth 2.0 support.
