+of roles like user, developer, committer. The easiest way is to use what we build as
+user. If you want to improve parts of the software, or documentation, write to our
+<a href="http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/mailing-lists.html">mailing lists</a> what should be modified and how it should be done. On the
+<a href="https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Wiki+Home">community wiki</a> you can just create an account and start to work on it right
+away.</p>
+<p>The following are conditions to become a committer:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>You have send in patches that were well-respected to improve the software.</li>
+<li>You have added documentation to the Wiki or website that were well-respected to
+    improvent the non-code part of the project.</li>
+<li>You have shown that you can discuss in the mailing lists and that this has
+    brought us forward.</li>
+<li>You are well known to the established members, who you are and what you have
+    done in the past. Regarding this project, a former-one or another project.</li>
+</ol>
+<p>If 1 of the 4 statements above are true, then you can be voted in as committer.</p>

+<h3 id="how_and_when_to_vote">How and when to vote?</h3>
+<p>Voting is done when a formal decision has to be made or due to legal reasons, e.g.,
+to vote in new members as committers. In any case avoid voting as the normal way is
+to come to a decision by discussions. The initiator is responsible for the vote,
+that means also to count the votes and present the result. Every member has 1 vote.
