+SCM
+===
+
+PolicyKit-mate is now at MATE's SVN at
+
+ http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/policykit-mate/
+
+The old git repository at
+
+ http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=users/david/PolicyKit-mate.git;a=summary
+
+is no longer used.
+
+Coding Style
+===
+
+ - Please follow the coding style already used - it's not a must, but it's
+   nice to have consistency.
+
+ - Write docs for all functions and structs and so on. We use gtkdoc format.
+
+ - All external interfaces (network protocols, file formats, etc.)
+   should have documented specifications sufficient to allow an
+   alternative implementation to be written. Our implementation should
+   be strict about specification compliance (should not for example
+   heuristically parse a file and accept not-well-formed
+   data). Avoiding heuristics is also important for security reasons;
+   if it looks funny, ignore it (or exit, or disconnect).
