+## Development processes
+
+Each project in Apache is free to define its own development processes as 
+long as they respect our decision making, legal and independence requirements.
+However, over the many years that the ASF has existed many best practices have 
+evolved and been documented across out projects. In this section we will try to 
+bring together some of the most popular of these practices. Most Apache projects
+operate in ways that are largely similar to these processes.

+  * [Crediting contributors][11] is a critical part of community building
+  * [ASF Licensing Policy][12]
+  * Releases
+    * [Releases FAQ][13]
+    * Release audit is a process each release candidate must go through to ensure IP is correctly managed
+    * [Release management][14] is the process by which releases are prepared and released
+    * [Handling cryptography][15] in an Apache Release
+    * [Source Headers and NOTICE][16] Files
+    * [Distribution best practices][17]
