+<h1>Version Naming</h1>
+<p>This document briefly outlines the strategy for naming versions. It applies
+to versions 1.0.0 and above. Versions below that are all instable and have a
+different naming schema.</p>
+<p>The major version is incremented whenever a considerate, major features have
+been added. This is expected to happen quite infrequently.</p>
+<p>The minor version number is incremented whenever there is "sufficient need"
+(at the discretion of the developers). There is a notable difference between
+stable and instable branches. The <b>stable branch</b> always has a minor
+version number in the range from 0 to 9. It is expected that the stable branch
+will receive bug and security fixes only. So the range of minor version numbers
+should be quite sufficient.</p>
+<p>For the <b>instable branch</b>, minor version numbers always start at 10 and
+are incremented as needed (again, at the discretion of the developers). Here,
+new minor versions include both fixes as well as new features (hopefully most of
+the time). They are expected to be released quite often.</p>
+<p>The patch level (third number) is incremented whenever a really minor thing
+must be added to an existing version. This is expected to happen quite
+infrequently.</p>
+<p>In general, the instable branch carries all new development. Once it
+concludes with a sufficiently-enhanced, quite stable version, a new major stable
+version is assigned.</p>
