+Firma Development Policy
+------------------------
+
+This policy helps control all development steps to keep a clean and junk-free
+code. In the future this procedure can be automatic.
+
+After any addition to firma, check the following:
+-------------------------------------------------
+
+- If a new variable has to be declared via a config-file,
+  remember to set it to be created in the NewList function.
+
+- Put all new functions in the FUNCTIONS variable.
+
+- Put all new global variables in the GLOBAL_VARS variable.
+
+- If you are using an unix command, check if it's already
+  listed in the commands list bellow. If it's not, please
+  add it.
+
+Variables usage
+---------------
+
+- Global vars: uppercase, with spaces replaced by underscores.
+
+- Local vars: lowercase, with spaces replaced by underscores and
+              declared using "local".
+
+- Attention to variables initialization, unset all vars after use.
