 ## Overview
 
 Configures an OpenStack Continuous Integration System
+
+## Developing
+
+If you are adding features to this module, first ask yourself: "Does this logic
+belong in the module for the service?"
+
+An example of this is the gearman-logging.conf file needed by the zuul service.
+This file should be managed by the zuul module, not managed here. What should go
+in this module is high level directives and integrations such as a list of
+jenkins plugins to install or a class that instantiates multiple services.
