+Neutron Objects
+===============
+
+
+Directory
+=========
+
+This directory is designed to contain all modules which have objects definitions
+shipped with core Neutron. The files and directories located inside
+of this directory should follow the guidelines below.
+
+
+Structure
+---------
+
+The Neutron objects tree should have the following structure:
+
+* The expected directory structure is flat, except for the ML2 plugins. All ML2
+  plugin objects should fall under the plugins subdirectory (i.e. plugins/ml2/gre_allocation).
+* Module names should use singular forms for nouns (network.py, not networks.py).
