address@hidden Contributing testcases
+
+In the core of gnunet, we restrict new testcases to a small subset
+of languages, in order of preference:
address@hidden
address@hidden C
address@hidden Bash (preferable portable without too much specifics to Bash)
address@hidden Python (@gt{} 3.6)
address@hidden 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.
