+Development guidelines
+======================
+
+Coding Guidelines
+-----------------
+
+`PEP8 `_ checking should pass for
+all Climate code. You may check it using the following command:
+
+.. sourcecode:: console
+
+ tox -e pep8
+
+..
+
+Also you should keep your code clear using more code style checkings via
+`pylint `_:
+
+.. sourcecode:: console
+
+ tox -e pylint
+
+..
+
+If you see any pep8/pylint errors in your code, it's mandatory to fix them
+before sending your change on review.
+
+Testing Guidelines
+------------------
+
+Climate repositories have unit tests that are run on all submitted code, and it
+is recommended for developers to execute them themselves to catch regressions
+early. Developers are also expected to keep the test suite up-to-date with any
+submitted code changes.
+
+Unit tests might be ran in `TOX `_ environment
+via commands:
+
+.. sourcecode:: console
+
+ tox -e py27
+ tox -e py26
+
+..
+
+for Python 2.7 and Python 2.6 accordingly.
+
+Documentation Guidelines
+------------------------
+
+Currently Climate docs are partially written on `OpenStack wiki
+`_ pages, and partially using
+Sphinx / RST located in the main repo in *doc* directory. In future all of them
+will be moved to Sphinx / RST (now these docs cannot be published on
+readthedocs.org, because there is already existing *climate* project created on
+it. Now Climate ATCs are voting to choose new name for Climate project and then
+all docs will be moved to new readthedocs project).
+
+To build Sphinx / RST docs locally run the following command:
+
+.. sourcecode:: console
+
+ tox -e docs
+
+..
+
+After it you can access generated docs in *doc/build/* directory, for example,
+main page - *doc/build/html/index.html*.

+ *stackforge/climate-nova* and *stackforge/python-climateclient*
+
+As all bugs/blueprints are listed in `Climate Launchpad
+`_, you may keep track on them and choose some
+to work on.
+
+How to keep in touch with community
+-----------------------------------
+
+* If you're not subscribed to `OpenStack general mailing list
