-### When Reporting Bad Search Results...
-
-Please make sure to add the following information:
-
- * the URL of the query that produces the bad result

- 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.

## Coding style

+## 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`

+* [ ] update OSMF production repo and release new version -post1 there
+* [ ] 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
+* [ ] prepare documentation
+ * check out new docs branch
+ * change git checkout instructions to tarball download instructions or adapt version on existing ones
+ * build documentation and copy to https://github.com/osm-search/nominatim-org-site
+ * add new version to history
+* [ ] check release tarball
+ * download tarball as per new documentation instructions
