-TODO:
+* Get porters to make binaries.
-* Get porters to make binaries. Note: We have a filename convention, which goes like this: "scummvm-VERSION-PORT.EXTENSION". For example: "scummvm-1.0.0-macosx.dmg".
+** Porter must follow our filename convention, which goes like this: "scummvm-VERSION-PORT.EXTENSION". For example: "scummvm-1.0.0-macosx.dmg". Do '''not''' use special names like "EScummVM" or "ScummVMDS". The only exclusion from this requirement is Debian.
-* Update the website internally, but do not yet put these changes online.
+** Here is a list of files porters should include in their release archives:
+*** AUTHORS
+*** COPYING
+*** NEWS
+*** README (generic ScummVM one)
+*** modern.zip (if your port uses new GUI)
+*** modern.ini (if your port uses new GUI)
+*** pred.dic (from dists directory)
+*** kyra.dat (from engine-data/tags/release-X-Y-Z module)
+*** queen.tbl (from engine-data/tags/release-X-Y-Z module)
+*** sky.cpt (from engine-data/tags/release-X-Y-Z module)
+*** your build binary
+*** your build-specific README (optional)
+*** ...
+* Update the website internally (i.e. update the version in the repository), but do not yet put these changes online.
