+Stratum 0 KiCad Library
+=======================
+
+
+
+How to use
+----------
+
+* Start your KiCad project as always.
+* Add this library as a submodule to your project git.
+  The submodule is intended to be in the same directory as the *.kicad_pro* -file.
+* Add the schematic and PCB libraries as project/local libs to your project.
+* Since this project is a submodule changes in the library will not result in
+  changes to your project until you update the submodule.
+
+
+How to contribute
+-----------------
+
+* Just create a MR for this repo.
+* There will be a short review for consistency, but we will not check the actual
+  design.
+
+
+Design rules
+------------
+
+* Please follow the https://klc.kicad.org/ when creating new symbols / footprints.
+  (But we will not be so picky if you don't.)
+* Every symbol must have a fooprint associated.
+  (Some exceptions may be possible.)
+
+* Every specific (non-standard) part (IC, some connectors) must have
+  the following fields:
+    * "Manufacturer" 
+    * "MPN" (Manufacturer Part Number)
+
+* Every part can contain the following fields:
+    * Distributors (Containing Distributor names and their part numbers)
+
+* Every specific part must have a datasheet link.
+  Datasheets can either be a link to the manufacturers website.
+  Or better: Datasheets can be placed in the *datasheets/* -directory
+  and linked using a relative path.
