+README for developers
+====================
+
+This page is dedicated to rules and conventions that Chameleon's
+developers must follow and that should be read by contributors.
+
+Gitlab flow
+---------------------
+
+TODO - Right here how to use git and gitlab to push modifications into
+Chameleon.
+
+### Update submodules
+
+Chameleon git project depends on a "submodule" git, located in
+cmake_modules/morse_cmake and hosted here
+https://gitlab.inria.fr/solverstack/morse_cmake.
+
+To update this submodule to the last development state, follow these
+steps:
+
+```
+#!shell
+git submodule update --remote cmake_modules/morse_cmake
+git commit cmake_modules/morse_cmake -m "update morse_cmake submodule"
+git push --recurse-submodules=check
+```
+
+Documentation
+---------------------
+
+TODO - Right here how to generate the documentation.
+
+Packaging
+---------------------
+
+TODO - Right here the steps to create a new release:
+ - what needs to be checked (ctest, docummentation, version, ...)
+ - how to generate the package .tar.gz
+ - what and where to publish externally
+
+Naming and writting conventions
+---------------------
+
+TODO - Right here the rules and conventions used in the source code.
