+## Upstream repos
+
+Font projects must be hosted on Github and must not be private. We don't mind if wip projects are private but once completed they must be public.
+
+
+### Upstream Repo Structure
+
+Font projects must have the following structure.
+
+```

+Each file/dir has the following purpose:
+
+**An example is included for each file. It is better to use these as templates and just modify what you need. TODO make a template repo or a cookie cutter script**
+
+**[AUTHORS.txt](https://github.com/googlefonts/OswaldFont/blob/master/AUTHORS.txt):** Includes contact information for the project's authors. Contributors must not be included in this file.

+**[CONTRIBUTORS.txt](https://github.com/googlefonts/OswaldFont/blob/master/CONTRIBUTORS.txt):** Includes contact information for the project's contributors.
+
+**[DESCRIPTION.en_us.html](https://github.com/googlefonts/OswaldFont/blob/master/DESCRIPTION.en_us.html):** A small html snippet which describes the family. This file is used on the main Google Fonts website for each family's "About" section e.g https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Oswald
+
+**[FONTLOG.txt](https://github.com/googlefonts/OswaldFont/blob/master/FONTLOG.txt):** A log file which lists changes to each release.
+
+**[OFL.txt](https://github.com/googlefonts/OswaldFont/blob/master/OFL.txt):** The OFL license file. The first line of the license file must contain the font family's copyright string.
+
+**[README.md](https://github.com/TypeNetwork/Roboto):** contains information about the font family and instructions on how to build the family.
+
+**[fonts](https://github.com/googlefonts/OswaldFont/tree/master/fonts):** Directory containing font binaries or subdirectories for each font format. If your project is going to provide multiple formats, do not include them all in one folder. Create a folder for each format e.g `fonts/otf`, `fonts/ttf`.
+
+**[sources](https://github.com/googlefonts/OswaldFont/tree/master/sources):** Directory containing source files and scripts used to build the fonts. Sources must not be kept in another other directory.
+
+**[sources/build.sh](https://github.com/googlefonts/OswaldFont/blob/master/sources/build.sh):** A build script which builds the font files. We require fonts to be built with fontmake and the fonts should build in one click.
+
+The files/folders listed above are mandatory. However, we don't mind if you include further folders but they should have a clear purpose e.g `docs`

 ## The google/fonts repo
 
 The [google/fonts](https://github.com/google/fonts) repository is used as a staging area which allows font developers to upload their families to our website, [Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com). When font developers push families, they are reviewed by a member of the team. If the family meets our quality criteria, the family will be pushed into production. We aim to push families into production every fortnight.
