 unacceptable behavior to community@netbird.io.
 
+## Discuss changes with the NetBird team first
+
+Changes to the **public API**, **gRPC protocols**, **functionality behavior**, **CLI / service flags**, or **new features** should be discussed with the NetBird team before you start the work. These surfaces are part of NetBird's contract with operators, self-hosters, and downstream integrators, and changes to them have compatibility, security, and release-planning implications that benefit from an early conversation.
+
+Open an issue or reach out on [Slack](https://docs.netbird.io/slack-url) to talk through what you have in mind. We'll help shape the change, flag any constraints we know about, and confirm the direction so the PR review can focus on implementation rather than design.
+
+Typical bug fixes, internal refactors, documentation updates, and tests do not need pre-discussion — open the PR directly.
+
 ## Directory structure
 
 The NetBird project monorepo is organized to maintain most of its individual dependencies code within their directories, except for a few auxiliary or shared packages.

 **NetBird combines a configuration-free peer-to-peer private network and a centralized access control system in a single platform, making it easy to create secure private networks for your organization or home.**
 
 **Connect.** NetBird creates a WireGuard-based overlay network that automatically connects your machines over an encrypted tunnel, leaving behind the hassle of opening ports, complex firewall rules, VPN gateways, and so forth.
 
 **Secure.** NetBird enables secure remote access by applying granular access policies while allowing you to manage them intuitively from a single place. Works universally on any infrastructure.

 ### Quickstart with NetBird Cloud
 
-- Download and install NetBird at [https://app.netbird.io/install](https://app.netbird.io/install)
-- Follow the steps to sign-up with Google, Microsoft, GitHub or your email address.
-- Check NetBird [admin UI](https://app.netbird.io/).
-- Add more machines.
+- Download and install NetBird at [https://app.netbird.io/install](https://app.netbird.io/install).
+- Follow the steps to sign up with Google, Microsoft, GitHub or your email address.
+- Check the NetBird [admin UI](https://app.netbird.io/).
 
 ### Quickstart with self-hosted NetBird
 
-> This is the quickest way to try self-hosted NetBird. It should take around 5 minutes to get started if you already have a public domain and a VM.
-Follow the [Advanced guide with a custom identity provider](https://docs.netbird.io/selfhosted/selfhosted-guide#advanced-guide-with-a-custom-identity-provider) for installations with different IDPs.

Follow the [Advanced guide with a custom identity provider](https://docs.netbird.io/selfhosted/selfhosted-guide#advanced-guide-with-a-custom-identity-provider) for installations with different IdPs.
 
 **Infrastructure requirements:**
-- A Linux VM with at least **1CPU** and **2GB** of memory.
-- The VM should be publicly accessible on TCP ports **80** and **443** and UDP port: **3478**.
-- **Public domain** name pointing to the VM.
+- A Linux VM with at least **1 CPU** and **2 GB** of memory.
+- The VM should be publicly accessible on TCP ports **80** and **443** and UDP port **3478**.
+- A **public domain** name pointing to the VM.
 
 **Software requirements:**
-- Docker installed on the VM with the docker-compose plugin ([Docker installation guide](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)) or docker with docker-compose in version 2 or higher.
-- [jq](https://jqlang.github.io/jq/) installed. In most distributions
-  Usually available in the official repositories and can be installed with `sudo apt install jq` or `sudo yum install jq`
-- [curl](https://curl.se/) installed.
-  Usually available in the official repositories and can be installed with `sudo apt install curl` or `sudo yum install curl`
+- Docker with the Compose plugin (Compose v2 or higher). See the [Docker installation guide](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/).
 
 **Steps**
 - Download and run the installation script:
 ```bash
 export NETBIRD_DOMAIN=netbird.example.com; curl -fsSL https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/releases/latest/download/getting-started.sh | bash
 ```
-- Once finished, you can manage the resources via `docker-compose`
 
 ### A bit on NetBird internals
--  Every machine in the network runs [NetBird Agent (or Client)](client/) that manages WireGuard.
--  Every agent connects to [Management Service](management/) that holds network state, manages peer IPs, and distributes network updates to agents (peers).
--  NetBird agent uses WebRTC ICE implemented in [pion/ice library](https://github.com/pion/ice) to discover connection candidates when establishing a peer-to-peer connection between machines.
--  Connection candidates are discovered with the help of [STUN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STUN) servers.
--  Agents negotiate a connection through [Signal Service](signal/) passing p2p encrypted messages with candidates.
--  Sometimes the NAT traversal is unsuccessful due to strict NATs (e.g. mobile carrier-grade NAT) and a p2p connection isn't possible. When this occurs the system falls back to a relay server called [TURN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traversal_Using_Relays_around_NAT), and a secure WireGuard tunnel is established via the TURN server. 
- 
-[Coturn](https://github.com/coturn/coturn) is the one that has been successfully used for STUN and TURN in NetBird setups.
+- Every machine in the network runs the [NetBird agent](client/), which manages WireGuard.

+- Candidates are discovered with the help of [STUN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STUN) servers.
+- Agents negotiate a connection through the [Signal Service](signal/), exchanging end-to-end encrypted messages with candidates.
+- When NAT traversal fails (e.g. mobile carrier-grade NAT) and a direct p2p connection isn't possible, the system falls back to a [Relay Service](relay/) and a secure WireGuard tunnel is established through it.
