- First, read up on YAML below if you're not already familiar.
- Then, glance over the links above to familiarize yourself with what the type of data we're collecting looks like.
- Finally, pick a legislator whose form still needs codifying (the ones we've already done are in <../members>), [open a ticket](https://github.com/unitedstates/congress-contact/issues/new) with the name and Bioguide ID of your choice (we ask that you help us tackle senators first), and fill out a file similar to the ones in <../members> with the appropriate YAML

The YAML variable placeholders, such as `$EMAIL` used to label the form values can be found [here](https://github.com/unitedstates/contact-congress/blob/master/support/variables.yaml).
- Once you have your YAML all ready, you can fork this repo, add it to the members folder, and submit a pull request via github.
