+This page describes the packaging policy for translators.
+
+<code>**Naming Scheme**</code>
+
+Possible package naming schemes (foo is a filesystem based translator, bar is a node based translator)
+
+\* foofs, bar [this will make searching somewhat more of a hassle]
+
+\* foofs-trans, bar-trans
+
+\* foofs-translator, bar-translator
+
+\* hurd-translator-foofs, hurd-translator-bar
+
+\* source package should be called whatever the tarball/cvs module says
+
+\* do we need to destinguish between file system and node based translators?
+
+<code>**Where to put files**</code>
+
+\* They should go into /hurd
+
+\* What about setting passive translators in /servers or /dev?
+
+<code>**Short/Long description guidelines**</code>
+
+[packagename]: Foo translator for [doing bar] Foo is a GNU/Hurd translator which does [bar]
