+If you are not the maintainer of a doc file or a chapter/section, you MUST
+ use change tracking so that the maintainer could review your changes
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Respect the formatting of the document.
+ The different files use different formatting styles.
+ That is OK and has historic reasons nobody fully knows ;-).
+ But it is important to be consistent within one file.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+All changes you make to a file in one language MUST also go the file in
+ the other actively maintained languages.
+ Normally the maintainer does this for you, if you are the maintainer, you
+ must do this by copying or changing the changed or added text to the other
+ files so that the translators sees the blue underlined text and know what
+ they have to translate and what was changed.

+All fixes (typos, compilation fixes, updates info etc.) go at first into

+ Feel free to commit directly to branch as long as you follow rule

+\begin_layout Enumerate
+The fileformat of a file must not be changed unless you document a new feature
+ in LyX that requires a new fileformat.
+ The reason for this rule is to keep it easy for the doc maintainers to
+ port/backport changes to from master/branch.
