 Hi,
 
 Hi,
 

-This document is only made for newcomers in Jirafeau who are digging into
-the code.
+this document is made for newcomers in Jirafeau who are digging into the code.
+
+## General principle
+
+Jirafeau is made in the [KISS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_principle) way (Keep It Simple, Stupid).
+
+It is meant to be a simple filehosting service, simple to use, simple to install, simple to maintain.
+
+This project won't evolve to a file manager and will focus to keep a very few dependencies.
+
+So things like a markdown parser for the ToS or E-Mail tasks would be usefull for sure, but may be [rejected](https://gitlab.com/mojo42/Jirafeau/issues/37#note_1191566) since they would a lot of dependencies and makes the project more complex.
+
+## Structure

 
 Here is a little explaination of Jirafeau's arboresence in a simplified
 view only to show the most importants files and their role.

+## Coding style
+
+- This project follows the [PSR-2](http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-2/) Coding Style
+- Files must be in UTF-8 without BOM and use Unix Line Endings (LF)
+
+## Branches
+
+* ```master``` = latest release, e.g. 2.0.1
+* ```next-release``` = development branch - all new features are merged into this branch until the next version is released. So use this branch as base while developing new features or bugfixes.
+* ```test``` = sandbox branch to test new features or merge requests, or run integration tests. The content of this branch may change at any time.

 
 

-Coding style:
+## Merge Requests

 
 

-- PHP function keywords are alone on a line
-- Braces "{" must are put in a new line
-- Files must be in UTF-8 (without BOM)
-- Uses LF (\n) for end of lines
+Please create one branch for each feature and send one merge request for each branch. 

 
 

-The whole project is not clean about that, feel free to fix :)
+Dont squash several changes or commits into one merge request as this is hard to review.

 
 

+Please use ```next-release``` as base branch and send your merge request to this branch (not ```master```).
