+Developing :mod:`zope.pytest`
+*****************************
+
+You want to contribute to :mod:`zope.pytest`? Great!
+
+Please talk to us our on our :ref:`mailing list <mailing_list>` about
+your plans!
+
+Sources
+-------
+
+`zope.pytest` source code is maintained on Zope subversion repository:
+http://svn.zope.org/zope.pytest
+
+You can check out `zope.pytest` using `Subversion`_ (SVN).
+
+.. _`Subversion`: http://subversion.tigris.org/
+
+Feel free to checkout `zope.pytest` from Zope repository if you want
+to hack on it, and send us a request when you want us to merge
+your improvements.
+
+Development install of `zope.pytest`
+------------------------------------
+
+`zope.pytest` requires Python 2.5 or 2.6.
+
+To install `zope.pytest` for development, first check it out, then run the
+buildout::
+
+ $ python bootstrap.py -d
+ $ bin/buildout
+
+This uses Buildout_. Don't worry, that's all you need to know to get
+going. The ``-d`` option is to use Distribute_ instead of Setuptools_
+and is optional. The buildout process will download and install all
+dependencies for `zope.pytest`.
+
+.. _Buildout: http://buildout.org
+
+.. _Distribute: http://packages.python.org/distribute/
+
+.. _Setuptools: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools
+
+Tests
+-----
+
+To run the tests::
+
+  $ bin/py.test
+
+This uses `py.test`_. We love tests, so please write some if you want
+to contribute. There are many examples of tests in the ``test_*.py``
+modules.
+
+.. _`py.test`: http://pytest.org/
+
+Test coverage
+-------------
+
+To get a test coverage report::
+
+  $ bin/py.test --cov zope.pytest
+
+To get a report with more details::
+
+   bin/py.test --cov-report html --cov zope.pytest
+
+The results will be stored in a subdirectory ``htmlcov``. You can point
+a web browser to its ``index.html`` to get a detailed coverage report.
+
+Building the documentation
+--------------------------
+
+To build the documentation using Sphinx_::
+
+  $ cd doc/
+  $ make html
+
+.. _Sphinx: http://sphinx.pocoo.org/
+
+If you use this command, all the dependencies will have been set up
+for Sphinx so that the API documentation can be automatically
+extracted from the `zope.pytest` source code. The docs source is in
+``doc/``, the built documentation will be available in
+``doc/_build/html``.
+
+Python with `zope.pytest` on the sys.path
+-----------------------------------------
+
+It's often useful to have a project and its dependencies available for
+import on a Python prompt for experimentation:
+
+  $ bin/devpython
+
+You can now import `zope.pytest`::
+
+  >>> import zope.pytest
+
+You can also run your own scripts with this custom interpreter if you
+like::
+
+  $ bin/devpython somescript.py
+
+This can be useful for quick experimentation. When you want to use
+`zope.pytest` in your own projects you would normally include it in
+your project's ``setup.py`` dependencies instead.
+
+Releases
+--------
+
+The buildout also installs `zest.releaser`_ which can be used to make
+automatic releases to PyPI (using ``bin/fullrelease``).
+
+.. _`zest.releaser`: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zest.releaser
