+To be moved to an appropriate section of "how to write documentation" or
+"how to contribute to the documentation":
+
+1. When writing documentation, please use gender-neutral wording when
+   referring to people, such as singular “they”, “their”, “them”, and
+   so forth. -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they
+
+2. Keep line length below 74 characters.
+
+3. Do not use tab characters (see chapter 2.1 texinfo manual)
+* What's left to do
+
+- Which Texlive modules are needed? Decrease the size.
+- Update the content of gnunet documentation.
+
+* How to use (hack) on this
+
+** with guix
+
+Adjust accordingly, ie read the Guix Documentation:
+setenv GUIX_PACKAGE_PATH "gnunet/contrib/packages/guix/packages"
+guix environment gnunet-doc
+and
+guix build -f contrib/packages/guix/gnunet-doc.scm
+
+** without guix
+
+You need to have Texinfo and Texlive in your path.
+sh bootstrap
+./configure --enable-documentation
+cd doc
+make (format you want)
+
+for example: make html, make info, make pdf
+
+* structure (relations)
