 ## Tools

 This neighbourhood should contain all kinds of tools on the host or the target, which are interacting with CODESYS or extending the functionality of CODESYS or one of its applications.
-
-## Hacks
-
-This is a public project, where everyone is welcome to post his little helper scripts and snippets. For this reason, the central element to maintain the code is not Git or SVN, but simply a blog.

 ## Targets
 CODESYS supports various open PLC platforms. This neighbourhood contains projects for all of those which are directly or indirectly supported. It's a place to collect hints, scripts, and documentation to operate those targets.

+If you want to publish your open source software, there are generally three approaches to start:
+
+1. Create and Maintain an **Open-Source Project**, shared with others
+2. Create a **User Project**, which is published in your profile
+3. Just publish your code and some pictures in your private **Blog**

+The decission should be easy:
+
+* If you have serious plans with your project, choose option **(1)**
+* If you just want to share your idea and use the SVN or Git infrastructure of Forge, choose option **(2)**
+* If you just have a project, which you don't want to maintain, but share it once, choose option **(3)**

+Despite of your choice, you can use the Wiki or Blog post to:

 * Describe your project in "markdown" syntax
 * Embed Youtube Videos
+* Embed Screenshots or Schematics
 * Upload Files

 As most of us are no designers, we provide you some Logo Icons, which can be used freely. They are based on the famous "font-awesome" set of icons. But they are preprocessed, so that they can be directly used as a project logo.

+Drawing a hardware layout is already a difficult task. If you add some more attributes to the task, it becomes a tough job:

+* The layout should be accurate, so that it is easy to build for others.
+* You should have some nice and colorful sketches for beginners.
