+=head1 NAME
+
+Debian Perl Group Policy
+
+=head1 INTRODUCTION
+
+Project Internal Policy
+
+Here we document how we do stuff internally. This file is of course work in 
+progress and will probably always be.
+
+We are using a subversion repository to keep the packages under revision 
+control. It is recommended that you read Debian Perl Group Subversion 
+Guide (L<http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/subversion.html>) to see how our 
+repository should be used, it is out of scope of this document.

+
+=head1 Mandatory mailing lists and such
+
+All members of our group should be subscribed to debian-perl@lists.debian.org 
+and read this list (at least skim all messages for Debian Perl Group related 
+stuff). Additionally, every members should be subscribed to 
+pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org to receive bug reports and 
+similar.
+
+All members are encouraged to have all our packages installed. They are also 
+encouraged to check our webspace (L<http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-perl>), 
+our svn repository (L<http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-perl/>) and the tracker on 
+alioth (L<http://alioth.debian.org/tracker/?group_id=30274>) regulary. You can 
+watch the work on our svn repository subscribing to our svn commits 
+list (L<http://alioth.debian.org/mail/?group_id=30274>), listed there as 
+pkg-perl-cvs-commits.
+
+=head1 debian/changelog handling and versioning
+
+We use the debian revision to count our releases to the debian archive, not 
+internal steps. So if and only if you do the first change after a release, 
+you add another debian/changelog entry (dch -i). Since your name and e-mail 
+will then be in there, you have to check that you are listed in Uploaders: 
+in debian/control (otherwise katie or whoever will think that you are doing 
+a NMU).
+
+If someone else changed something that has to be noted in debian/changelog, 
+he just adds a line to the current entry (dch -a). He should not put his 
+name there - the user does not care and we can always check the svn log.
+
+=head1 debian/control handling
+
+Before importing a package into the SVN repository for the first time
+you should change the Maintainer field to
+pkg-perl-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org. You should put your own
+email address and name in the Uploaders field. If there are others
+that you know of who will be modifying the package in the future, you
+should add their name and email address to the Uploaders field as
+well.
+
+When modifying a package in the repository, you should add your name
+to the Uploaders file. You should keep the names of other maintainers
+who added their name before you. In other words, the Uploaders field
+must be updated to contain everyone that worked on the package. The
+Maintainer field must remain unchanged after the first import.
+
+=head1 Release Process
+
+If you are a full DD, upload but be prepared to receive (at least parts of) the 
+blame. If you are not, some DD in the Group will surely sponsor the package. He 
+will check the package first, too, but make sure he has no reason to complain. 
+Feel free to use the "Packages to Upload" tracker for finding a sponsor.
+
+Always feel free to ask other to check a package if in doubt.
