 ## Contents
 
-This branch is not used for public. Please use one of the other branches available for submitting add-ons.
+This branch contains a certain category of add-ons from which our back-end script creates .zip files which are made available to each Kodi client.
+* Background services
+* Screensavers
+* Scripts
+* Subitles services
+* Support modules
+* Weather providers
+
+## How to submit your add-on and subsequent updates ##
+
+Your add-on must follow our strict repository rules to be considered for inclusion. Please consult the [Add-on rules](http://kodi.wiki/view/Add-on_Rules) wiki page for further details. Please review these rules carefull before submitting your add-on. Should you have any questions regarding them please start a forum thread in one of the following locations
+* [Python add-ons](http://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=26)
+* [Skins](http://forum.kodi.tv/forumdisplay.php?fid=12)
+
+After you have read the repository guidelines and made sure your addon is compliant with them, you may begin the submission process. By forking this repository and creating a pull-request to the correct repository branch you ask permissing to included you add-on to the official Kodi repository. Subsequent updates can be done in a similar way by updating the code and creating a new pull-request again. Make sure that your local git clone is always rebased before send a pull-request.
+
+* Fork this repository
+* Create a branch
+* Commit your new add-on or any subsequent update in a single commit
+* Push the branch to your own forked repository
+* Create pull request
+* Await commments if any changes are deemed necessary
+
+A short guide on forking and creating a pull request can be found here: [contributing](https://github.com/xbmc/repo-scripts/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md).
+
+Keep in mind that add-ons in the official repository should be considered stable. This means that they should be well-tested before you submit them for inclusion. Because they are for stable users, they should avoid being updated too often. Too often is of course subjective. If your add-on is in rapid development, and features are constantly being added, hold off until you have hit a good stopping point and tested the current version.
+This means that you should not submit a request every time you change your code. If you are submitting updates more than once per week something is wrong. Once or twice per month is probably a better goal, barring unforeseen conditions (like a content source changing its paths). With good reasons provided we will of course make exceptions as we strive to prove the best user experience.
+
+## Compatibility
+
+This branch is used for add-ons that are coded for Kodi v21 Omega builds and higher only. From these code repositories and branches our back-end uploades .zip files of the compatible add-ons to our main mirror server.
