+Development note
+================
+
+To test against a local development service, add
+
+	{
+	    "code" : "xx",
+	    "name" : "Testland",
+	    "continent" : "Demoworld",
+	    "call_code" : "+00"
+	}
+
+to contrib/redux.countries.json, and also append something like
+
+	{
+            "url" : "http://localhost:8086/",
+            "restricted" : "xx"
+	},
+	{
+            "url" : "http://localhost:8087/",
+            "restricted" : "xx"
+	},
+	{
+            "url" : "http://localhost:8088/",
+            "restricted" : "xx"
+	},
+	{
+            "url" : "http://localhost:8089/",
+            "restricted" : "xx"
+	}
+
+to contrib/provider-list.json. Then the reducer will use these
+providers on loopback for the "testland" country.
+
+
+Experimental providers
+======================
+
+We hope to have another provider running soon. Once it is operational,
+we should add
+
+        {
+            "url" : "https://v1.anastasis.openw3b.org/",
+            "name" : "Openw3b Foundation, India"
+        },
+
+to the contrib/provider-list.json.
