+In the core of gnunet, we restrict new testcases to a small subset
+of languages, in order of preference:
+@enumerate
+@item C
+@item Bash (preferable portable without too much specifics to Bash)
+@item Python (@geq{}3.6)
+@end enumerate
+
+We welcome efforts to remove our existing python-2.7 scripts to
+replace them either with Bash or, at your choice, python-3.6+.
+
+If you contribute new python based testcases, we advise you to
+not repeat our past misfortunes and write the tests in a standard
+test framework like for example pytest.
