+Development process
+===========================
+
+Developers work in their own trees, then submit pull requests when
+they think their feature or bug fix is ready.
+
+The patch will be accepted if there is broad consensus that it is a
+good thing. Developers should expect to rework and resubmit patches
+if they don't match the project's coding conventions (see coding.txt)
+or are controversial.
+
+The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed
+to be completely stable. Tags are regularly created to indicate new
+official, stable release versions of NovaCoin.
+
+Feature branches are created when there are major new features being
+worked on by several people.
+
+From time to time a pull request will become outdated. If this occurs, and
+the pull is no longer automatically mergeable; a comment on the pull will
+be used to issue a warning of closure. The pull will be closed 15 days
+after the warning if action is not taken by the author. Pull requests closed
+in this manner will have their corresponding issue labeled 'stagnant'.
+
+Issues with no commits will be given a similar warning, and closed after
+15 days from their last activity. Issues closed in this manner will be
+labeled 'stale'.
