+1 Introduction
+
+This document describes some guidelines for people participating
+in lwIP development.
+
+2 How to contribute to lwIP
+
+Here is a short list of suggestions to anybody working with lwIP and 
+trying to contribute bug reports, fixes, enhancements, platform ports etc.
+First of all as you may already know lwIP is a volunteer project so feedback
+to fixes or questions might often come late. Hopefully the bug and patch tracking 
+features of Savannah help us not lose users' input.
+
+2.1 Source code style:
+
+1. do not use tabs.
+2. indentation is two spaces per level (i.e. per tab).
+3. end debug messages with a trailing newline (\n).
+4. one space between keyword and opening bracket.
+5. no space between function and opening bracket.
+6. one space and no newline before opening curly braces of a block.
+7. closing curly brace on a single line.
+8. spaces surrounding assignment and comparisons.
+9. don't initialize static and/or global variables to zero, the compiler takes care of that.
+10. use current source code style as further reference.
+
+2.2 Source code documentation style:
+
+1. JavaDoc compliant and Doxygen compatible.
+2. Function documentation above functions in .c files, not .h files.
+   (This forces you to synchronize documentation and implementation.)
+3. Use current documentation style as further reference.
+ 
+2.3 Bug reports and patches:
+
+1. Make sure you are reporting bugs or send patches against the latest
+   sources. (From the latest release and/or the current CVS sources.)
+2. If you think you found a bug make sure it's not already filed in the
+   bugtracker at Savannah.
+3. If you have a fix put the patch on Savannah. If it is a patch that affects
+   both core and arch specific stuff please separate them so that the core can
+   be applied separately while leaving the other patch 'open'. The prefered way
+   is to NOT touch archs you can't test and let maintainers take care of them.
+   This is a good way to see if they are used at all - the same goes for unix
+   netifs except tapif.
+4. Do not file a bug and post a fix to it to the patch area. Either a bug report
+   or a patch will be enough.
+   If you correct an existing bug then attach the patch to the bug rather than creating a new entry in the patch area.
+5. Trivial patches (compiler warning, indentation and spelling fixes or anything obvious which takes a line or two)
+   can go to the lwip-users list. This is still the fastest way of interaction and the list is not so crowded
+   as to allow for loss of fixes. Putting bugs on Savannah and subsequently closing them is too much an overhead
+   for reporting a compiler warning fix.
+6. Patches should be specific to a single change or to related changes.Do not mix bugfixes with spelling and other
+   trivial fixes unless the bugfix is trivial too.Do not reorganize code and rename identifiers in the same patch you
+   change behaviour if not necessary.A patch is easier to read and understand if it's to the point and short than
+   if it's not to the point and long :) so the chances for it to be applied are greater. 
+
+2.4 Platform porters:
+
+1. If you have ported lwIP to a platform (an OS, a uC/processor or a combination of these) and
+   you think it could benefit others[1] you might want discuss this on the mailing list. You
+   can also ask for CVS access to submit and maintain your port in the contrib CVS module.
