- To get the link to the OSM object, you can try the following:
- 
- * go to https://openstreetmap.org
- * zoom to the area of the map where you expect the result and
-   zoom in as much as possible
- * click on the question mark on the right side of the map,
-   then with the queston cursor on the map where your object is located
- * find the object of interest in the list that appears on the left side
- * click on the object and report the URL back that the browser shows

+### Using AI-assisted code generators
+
+PRs that include AI-generated content, may that be in code, in the PR
+description or in documentation need to
+
+1. clearly mark the AI-generated sections as such, for example, by
+   mentioning all use of AI in the PR description, and
+2. include proof that you have run the generated code on an actual
+   installation of Nominatim. Adding and excuting tests will not be
+   sufficient. You need to show that the code actually solves the problem
+   the PR claims to solve.

+## Releases
+
+Nominatim follows semantic versioning. Major releases are done for large changes
+that require (or at least strongly recommend) a reimport of the databases.
+Minor releases can usually be applied to existing databases. Patch releases
+contain bug fixes only and are released from a separate branch where the
+relevant changes are cherry-picked from the master branch.
+
+Checklist for releases:
+
+* [ ] increase versions in
+  * `src/nominatim_api/version.py`

+* [ ] test migration
+  * download, build and import previous version
+  * migrate using master version
+  * run updates using master version
+* [ ] prepare tarball:
+  * `git clone https://github.com/osm-search/Nominatim` (switch to right branch!)
+  * `rm -r .git*`
+  * copy country data into `data/`
+  * add version to base directory and package
+* [ ] upload tarball to https://nominatim.org
