-Guidelines on Code Modification
-===============================
-
-Coding Style
-------------
-
-* Use syntax compatible to both python 2.6 and 3.1.
-* Use docstrings with pydoc in mind
-* Follow the style guide for python code:
-    http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/
-* Test the code with "doctest" where it makes sense
-
-
-Patches
--------
-
-Send patches, created with "git format-patch", to the email adress
-
-    hut@lepus.uberspace.de
-
-If you plan to do major changes, or many changes over time, I encourage
-you to create a fork on GitHub, Gitorious or any other site.
-
-
-Starting Points
----------------
-
-Good places to read about ranger internals are:
-ranger/core/actions.py
-ranger/container/fsobject.py
-
-About the UI:
-ranger/gui/widgets/browsercolumn.py
-ranger/gui/widgets/browserview.py
-ranger/gui/ui.py
-
-
-Common Changes
---------------
-
-* Change which files are previewed in the auto preview:
-In ranger/container/file.py
-the constant PREVIEW_BLACKLIST
-
-* Adding options:
-In ranger/config/rc.conf
-add the default value, like: my_option = True
-In ranger/container/settings.py
-add the name of your option to the constant ALLOWED_SETTINGS
-
-The setting is now accessible at self.settings.my_option,
-assuming <self> is a "SettingsAware" object.
-
-* Adding colorschemes:
-Copy ranger/colorschemes/default.py to ranger/colorschemes/myscheme.py
-and modify it according to your needs.  Alternatively, mimic the jungle
-colorscheme.  It subclasses the default scheme and just modifies a few things.
-In ranger/config/rc.conf (or ~/.config/ranger/rc.conf), add the line:
-
-    set colorscheme myscheme
-
-* Change the file type => application associations:
-Edit the configuration file ~/.config/ranger/rifle.conf.  The default one can
-be obtained by running "ranger --copy-config rifle".
-
-* Change the file extension => mime type associations:
-Modify ranger/data/mime.types
-
-
-Version Numbering
------------------
-
-Three numbers;  The first changes on a rewrite, the second changes when major
-configuration incompatibilities occur and the third changes with each release.
