+Annotation-Protocol: Guidelines for Contributing Tests
+======================================================
+
+This document describes the method people should use for authoring tests and
+integrating them into the repository.  Anyone is welcome to submit new tests to
+this collection.  If you do, please create the tests following the guidelines
+below.  Then submit them as a pull request so they can be evaluated
+
+Structure
+---------
+
+Tests are organized by client or server, and then by major section of the Annotation
+Protocol specification.  The folders associated with these are:
+
+* client - tests a client needs to run
+* server - tests to be run against a server
+
+Within these folders, special files ending with the suffix ".html" provide the source
+for the test as a set javascript calls to perform the test.
+
+* scripts - JavaScript that are included by tests
+* tools - supporting scripts and files
