+=== 3D-Model contributors: please read ===
+A (long) time ago, specific instructions were given on how to contribute with 3D-models designing withing FG. That is: I want to create nice 3D models for my airport, submit them to the central database, and have them shipped back through Terrasync.
+However, it appears that quite a lot of users are still not aware of those guidelines, and sometimes learn about their existence after having created their models.
+So please, take some time to (re)read them, and inform the people around you who would like to contribute about the existence of those guidelines. This will save you extra time (and your models will be quickly inserted within the database) and this will also save the (precious) times of the poor guy(s) validating all the models at the other end.
+So, here they are: http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/contribute.php .
+We also remind you that, to add, edit or delete shared model positions (apart from mass import (that is if you have more than let's say 10 lines to add), you should use our webtools at http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/submission/ .

 Shanghai is one of the biggest city in China and is among the cities with the most number of skyscrapers -this is now also true for FlightGear.
